Mocha test fails with error from “before all” hook

Question

From what I understand, the mocha test framework will throw this error if some error occurs in the before method:

> $(npm bin)/mocha test/*.j         


        

Answer 1

It has been a little time since it was asked but for the future readers here we go:

You can run your test with mocha test/*.js --timeout 5000 command. That's it.

But if you run your test with npm test command, just edit your package.json file like that:

"scripts": {
    "start": "nodemon ./bin/www",
    "test": "mocha --exit --recursive --timeout 5000" // add this line
  }
