I tried to run test automatically using nodemon instead of running them manually. I installed mocha and nodemonn on single time. This is how my package.json looks like:

{
  "name": "Ti Ri Ho",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "nodemon --exec 'mocha -R min'"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "mocha": "^5.2.0",
    "mongoose": "^5.3.15",
    "nodemon": "^1.18.7"
  }
}

I change "scripts": {"test": "mocha" } to "scripts": {"test": "nodemon --exec 'mocha -R min'"}.What could be the possible reason?

Why `nodemon`? Mocha has watch flag `mocha -w`. – Yury Tarabanko Dec 11 '18 at 15:50
But if you do need to use nodemon for some reason you could try `nodemon --exec './node_modules/.bin/mocha -R min'` – Yury Tarabanko Dec 11 '18 at 15:52
I know we can use --watch because --watch sometimes has a little bit of iffy functionality or compatibility with mongoose so instead i m making use of nodemon. It will start mocha each time. – Awais Ahmad Dec 11 '18 at 16:02
it didn't worked for me – Awais Ahmad Dec 11 '18 at 16:46
tried google again...find solution (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44219034/nodemon-mocha-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command-operable) `"nodemon --exec \"mocha -R min\""` – Awais Ahmad Dec 11 '18 at 17:02
