mocha: Run tests with a specific reporter.

mocha

$ mocha --reporter ${reporter}

try on your machine

This command runs the mocha test framework and specifies a reporter option.

The mocha command is used to run JavaScript tests written using the Mocha test framework. It is commonly used in Node.js projects to execute unit and integration tests.

The --reporter option allows you to specify the reporter for test result output. Reporters are responsible for formatting and presenting the test results in a desired format. Mocha provides built-in reporters like spec, dot, nyan, json, etc.

${reporter} is likely a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the desired reporter. For example, if you want to use the "spec" reporter, you would replace ${reporter} with spec.

So, the complete command would look something like:

mocha --reporter spec

This would execute the tests using Mocha and display the test results in the "spec" format.
