npm error ELIFECYCLE while running the test

Question

I am using mocha-phantomjs setup for unit testing. I have following package.json scriot to run the tests.

\"scripts\": {
\"test\": \"npm run testFlickr\",
\"         


        

Answer 1

And when I run the command npm test in cmd, the test run alright

No they aren't. You have 6 failing tests. The exit code of mocha-phantomjs is equal to the number of failing tests. Run mocha-phantomjs ./test/FlickrTest.html directly and see what is failing. Realize the PhantomJS is a bit different than your browser - you may have to debug it.

Your script setup is odd. You should just have:

"scripts": {
   "test": "mocha-phantomjs ./test/FlickrTest.html"
}

Then the odd node errors should go away.
