How can I avoid "No test specified" errors in npm?

Question

I'm using [email protected] on Mac High Sierra. I want to run tests that were setup in this Stratum client project. I have run npm install successfully. But when I try and run individual tests, I get the error:

no test specified 

What gives? I am in the root project directory and the tests are in my "test" folder. Here is what happens:

localhost:stratum-client-master davea$ npm install up to date in 0.381s localhost:stratum-client-master davea$ npm test test/callbacks.js  > [email protected] test /Users/davea/Documents/workspace/stratum-client-master > echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1 "test/callbacks.js"  Error: no test specified sh: line 0: exit: too many arguments npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details. 

Answer 1

Try replacing

"scripts": {   "test": "mocha" }, 

in your package.json.

Answer 2

You're outputting exactly what the package.json file was told to output. Take a peek under scripts.

"scripts": {   "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",   "int-test": "mocha --require babel-core/register --recursive test" }, 

Try int-test, the other command in there.

Update: The package link has changed to the following and mocha should be the default test suite. You can run the other script with npm run bump-version; the original script above can be run with npm run int-test.

"scripts": {   "test": "mocha --recursive test",   "bump-version": "npm version patch" },
