Running mocha test in subfolders

I am using Sails.js for some project. Now I wrote some unit tests. My test folder hierarchy is like following:

/test
    bootstrat.test.js
    mocha.opts
    /unit
        /controller
            User.js
            Representative.js
        /model
            User.js
            Representative.js
        /service
            Utility.js

For testing I now have to run all these following commands:

$ mocha test/unit/controller
$ mocha test/unit/model
$ mocha test/unit/service

But this is time consuming and too manual. I wanted to run all these tests with just one command and searched Google. I tried running mocha --recursive test. But it's not working. It results in following error -

  1) "before all" hook
  2) "after all" hook

  0 passing (2s)
  2 failing

  1)  "before all" hook:
     Error: timeout of 2000ms exceeded
      at null.<anonymous> (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mocha/lib/runnable.js:159:19)
      at Timer.listOnTimeout [as ontimeout] (timers.js:112:15)

  2)  "after all" hook:
     TypeError: Cannot call method 'lower' of undefined
      at Context.<anonymous> (/home/gladiator/Codes/rms-generic-web/test/bootstrap.test.js:21:9)
      at Hook.Runnable.run (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mocha/lib/runnable.js:218:15)
      at next (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mocha/lib/runner.js:259:10)
      at Object._onImmediate (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/mocha/lib/runner.js:276:5)
      at processImmediate [as _immediateCallback] (timers.js:345:15)

Is there a way in which I can run all these tests with just one command?

In your package.json file just add the following:

"scripts": {
    "test": "mocha ./test -b -t 10000"
 }

-b stops your tests after the first failure.

-t is test-case timeout in milliseconds

Then from the directory containing the package.json and test folder run npm test command. It will run all your tests.

Did you try to make you own bash script ?

Create mocha.sh and put this in it :

#!/bin/bash

mocha test/unit/controller
mocha test/unit/model
mocha test/unit/service

And run it with sh ./mocha.sh

I don't know enough mocha to do it with it.
