mocha not running all tests in test dir

This is my folder structure

src/
   a.js
   b.js
   test/
     a.spec.js
     b.spec.js

and I've tried running

  1. ~/.../src $ mocha
  2. ~/.../src $ mocha test
  3. ~/.../src $ mocha test/
  4. ~/.../src $ mocha ./test/
  5. ~/.../src $ mocha ./test/*.js

but non worked... all I get is just one test file running and the rest are ignored.

The docs say that (1) should do the job but well it doesn't.

It's built like this so you can run your test suite on just a file or two if you're doing development on them. If you want to run mocha throughout your project just specify --recursive

You can see some documentation here.

Better yet, you can just specify it in your package.json for CD. First do npm install mocha --save-dev and then put this in your package.json file then run npm test

{
  "scripts": {
    "test": "./node_modules/.bin/mocha --recursive",
  }
}

This was my mistake. I had it.only in one of my files and I forgot it. Removing the .only was the answer. All the test files are running now.

Create a moch.opts file under test directory and add recursive option

--recursive

Run ~/.../src $ mocha command; it should work.
