mocha: Run tests contained at a specific location.
$ mocha ${directory-with-tests}
try on your machine

The command "mocha ${directory-with-tests}" is typically used in a command line or terminal interface. It is used to run tests written in JavaScript using the "Mocha" testing framework.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "mocha": This is the command to run the Mocha testing framework. Mocha is a popular JavaScript testing framework that provides a flexible and powerful way to write and run tests.
  • "${directory-with-tests}": This is a placeholder or variable representing the directory where the test files are located. You need to provide the actual name or path of the directory containing your test files. Mocha will recursively search this directory for test files with names ending in .js and execute them.

When you run the "mocha" command with the appropriate directory, Mocha will execute all the test files it finds in that directory and display the test results in the command line or terminal interface.
