npm test for compoundjs application

Question

I have a compound js application. I only generated scaffold using

compound g scaffold user name surname

This command also created test/controllers/users-controllers-test.js file. I have tried ruuning this test as "npm test".

But on windows, it gave error as "Error: ENOENT, stat '.........\test\*\*'

And on linux/centos, it gave an error like "ReferenceError: describe is not defined"

Please help me out to understand what exactly I am missing...

Please need an aswer asap as it stucks my work.

Thanks in advance, Waiting for positive answers,

Thanks

You have a webserver running on the same port? Or maybe Skype (port 80) — Ron van der Heijden, Apr 09 '13 at 10:18
No I am running my node application on port 3000... when I run the app, it runs and works fine But "npm test" doesn't work Please guide. — user2186466, Apr 09 '13 at 10:25
`$ npm test`? What you want to acchieve? `$ npm install test`? https://npmjs.org/package/test — Ron van der Heijden, Apr 09 '13 at 10:26
I need to run the tests that are generated using "compound g scaffold"..in the folder test/controllers/.... — user2186466, Apr 09 '13 at 10:28
Please clarify me... to run the unit tests we use "npm test" command correct? — user2186466, Apr 09 '13 at 10:29
Also, running "node test" command gives me this error "Error: Cannot find module '/opt/testApp/test'".... Please help me understand.. — user2186466, Apr 09 '13 at 10:31
No, npm = [Node Packaged Modules](https://npmjs.org/). Here you can download modules for node. To run your app, you need `$ node ` — Ron van der Heijden, Apr 09 '13 at 10:32
ok... understood..then what is the command I can use to run my unit test cases — user2186466, Apr 09 '13 at 10:34
Depends on your test. You could [look here for the docs](https://github.com/1602/compound) — Ron van der Heijden, Apr 09 '13 at 10:39
For anyone reading this thread: `npm test` is often the prescribed way to test a node module. But this only works if a proper `test` script is specified in the module's `package.json` file. Here, probably a faulty test script is specified, so the `npm test` command does not work. See [documentation for package.json 'scripts' field](https://npmjs.org/doc/scripts.html). — Myrne Stol, Jun 10 '13 at 20:15

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/16639709/448876.

You should use mocha test/* instead of npm test.

First make sure mocha is installed:

npm install -g mocha
