package.json test script: reg. expression to enter deeper directories?

I have a test script at my package.json:

{
  "name": "my-project",
  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "test": "npm run build && mocha --compilers ts:ts-node/register --recursive src/**/*.spec.ts"
  },
  ...
}

That should be running every test found inside the /src directory, that has the following structure:

But the src/**/*.spec.ts regular expression is running only camel.spec.ts tests, but not the other ones that are found in deeper directories (bactrian.spec.ts, domestic.spec.ts, dromedary.spec.ts).

Has anyone experienced this, or knows the correct expression I should be using?

i just set up a test directory structure and `mocha --recursive src/**/*.spec.ts` works for me, and it grabs the tests within the subdirectories. what version of mocha are you using? – Josh Mar 04 '17 at 23:25
I'm using `"mocha": "^3.0.0"` – charliebrownie Mar 05 '17 at 00:07
What's your OS and default system shell (i.e. bash or cmd.exe)? – RyanZim Mar 05 '17 at 00:53
@RyanZim using z-shell (Mac) – charliebrownie Mar 05 '17 at 00:59
`"test": "npm run build && mocha --compilers ts:ts-node/register --recursive 'src/**/*.spec.ts'"` did it!! Notice the simple quotes! – charliebrownie Mar 07 '17 at 19:56
