Question

I ran into a problem recently that I can\'t explain. I have alot of code in these tests so I\'m going to do my best to capture the idea here

Answer 1

The key thing is to have mocha.opts file with the line pointing on ./test/bootstrap.js, where you apply before, beforeAll, after, afterAll hooks.

Execute all tests:
 - npm test

Execute a single test:
- NODE_ENV=test node --inspect ./node_modules/.bin/_mocha --opts test/mocha.opts test/test/service/unSubscriber.test.js 

node --inspect flag for debugging
