Run a mocha test with multiple js files and generate separate JSON reports

Question

I have several mocha & chakram test case files, located on current directory:

test1.js
test2.js
test3.js
..and so on

I want to run a mocha test sequentially and generate a JSON reports for every test case.

What I want

Test1.json (result of test1.js)
Test2.json (result of test2.js)
Test3.json (result of test3.js)
..and so on

What I have tried

Create a batch file which contains:

 mocha test1.js --reporter json > Test1.json
 mocha test2.js --reporter json > Test2.json
 mocha test3.js --reporter json > Test3.json

When I run it, it runs only the first line

Modified the batch file to be only one line

mocha test1.js --reporter json > Test1.json test2.js --reporter json > Test2.json test3.js --reporter json > Test3.json

This generates only one file 'Test3'.json. or

mocha "./testfolder/*.js" --reporter json > Test.json

This generates only one file.
Using mocha --recursive
```
 mocha --recursive *.js --reporter > test1.json
```
It goes to all subfolders. Even if this works, it will only generate one file. Reorganizing the folders is probably not an option.
I have tried using mochawesome too.However, in this case, I want JSON file as the result / reporter.

How can I achieve this?

Have you tried adding ```--exit``` to each line in your first soluton? — Korbinian Kuhn, Mar 14 '18 at 16:36
@KorbinianKuhn I added it and mocha still runs only the first line. — user2018, Mar 15 '18 at 07:43

mocha -R json test/main.js 2>&1 | tee ./selenium-results/selenium-results.json

This works for me. the ./selenium-results/selenium-results.json is where you would define your file path.
