        "args": ["mochaTest"],
        "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}",
        "runtimeExecutable": null
    }
]}

Gruntfile.js

module.exports = function (grunt) {

grunt.initConfig({
    mochaTest: {
        test: {
            options: {
                reporter: 'spec'
            },
            src: ['test/**/*test.js']
        }
    }
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-mocha-test');

grunt.registerTask('default', 'mochaTest');};
