I think this tutorial can help you : https://dev.to/promyze/setup-mocha-in-watch-mode-for-tdd-in-node-js-1mah

You can just update the paths to follow, or add the --watch-ignore options in the package.json file.

mocha --watch watches the current working directory.

If you'd like more felxibility you can use:

npm install -g watch
watch 'mocha' dir_to_watch
