ReferenceError: describe is not defined NodeJs

Question

I am trying to define some endpoints and do a test using nodejs. In server.js I have:

var express = require(\'express\');
var func1         


        

Answer 1

OP asked about running from node not from mocha. This is a very common use case, see Using Mocha Programatically

This is what injected describe and it into my tests.

mocha.ui('bdd').run(function (failures) {
    process.on('exit', function () {
      process.exit(failures);
    });
  });

I tried tdd like in the docs, but that didn't work, bdd worked though.
