mocha sidebar is not showing tests

Question

I'm developing a very simple typescript project and I added a very tiny test with mocha. I installed mocha sidebar on VS Code and all it's dependencies, but test are not showing in the left panel.

The strange is that when I press debug button, my test run without problem (?)

I want to distribute this package on NPM, and only distribute .js, .d.ts, js.map and d.ts.map files.

I think the problem is in my project.json, but I cannot figure what is it. The source code is here

Answer 1

The only change I needed was in the VS code workspace settings: Under extensions I pointed the 'mocha glob files'-setting to my test scripts

Answer 2

One thing that I notice from your repo is you have package.json, test folder and another src folder inside type-exception/src.

I can run the mocha sidebar plugin successfully.

My solution is to open the project in vscode from the type-exception/src folder not type-exception folder.

My file structure

My mocha sidebar

I also saw that you have correct vscode workspace settings that set mocha files to

{
    "mocha.files.glob": "lib/test/**/*.js"
}

Hope it helps
