Testing with Mocha and requirejs

Im trying to get a testing environment for JavaScript set up but I am having some trouble with Mocha and requirejs. So far I have installed Mocha and that works as it should because I have tested it with the sample test from the documentation. The problem arises when I try and require some of the modules I want to test. At the top of my test.js file I have this:

var assert = require("assert"),
door = require( '../../assets/scripts/modules/door' );

But i get this error message in the console.

ReferenceError: define is not defined

Its referring to the first line of the door.js file that is.

define(['../utils/templating/hogan', '../models/ApiCaller', 'Backbone'], function (hogan, ApiCaller) {

I have also tried requiring requirejs like so...

var assert = require("assert"),
requirejs = require( '../../assets/scripts/require' ),
door = require( '../../assets/scripts/modules/door' );

As you have probably guessed im new to testing JavaScript and any explanation or solution would be great.

Thanks.
