mocha + webstorm - error message broken

Question

I try to use mocha with webstorm test runner on win 7.

I have these config params:

• path to node:

  C:\\Program Files (x86)\\nodejs\\no

While the greater powers are debating on the hows and the whys to fix this, lesser mortals can resort to this workaround:

• Create a file called testRunner.js (or whatever)
• add the following lines of code to it
• modify the list of test files per your project
• in webstorm, run the testRunner.js to run your tests

testRunner.js

var testFiles=["test/_helper.js","test/tests.js","test/tests.coffee"];

var Mocha = require('mocha');

var mocha = new Mocha;

mocha.reporter('spec').ui('bdd');
