nodejs mocha suite is not defined error

Question

I am trying to run some tests using mocha but cant seem to get over this error.

E:\\tdd\\nodejs\\cart>mocha cart.test.js

node.js:201
        throw e; // proc         


        

Answer 1

You need to tell Mocha to use the TDD interface, instead of the default BDD one:

mocha --ui tdd card.test.js

Answer 2

You can also include a Makefile in your project and specify TDD like so:

test:
    @./node_modules/.bin/mocha -u tdd

.PHONY: test

Answer 3

You can do the same by just specifying mocha -u tdd in package.json

"scripts": {
"start" : "node server",      
"test": "mocha -u tdd" 
 }
