How can I run mocha tests by using a regex for matching on file names?

Question

I am trying to run multiple js tests using mocha. I want to match on filenames using a regex, but according to the documentation you can only use a regex to match on describe blocks. All of my spec files are named *.spec.js, so I would assume I would be able to run just those files easily. Is there a way/plugin that I can match on the filenames that end in .spec.js?

You can pass a glob expression to mocha like this:

mocha *.spec.js

If you do not specify a glob it defaults to mocha test/*.js.

The regexp you are refering to is the "grep" option which works on test names.
