This is my folder structure

src/
   a.js
   b.js
   test/
     a.spec.js
     b.spec.js

and I've tried running

  1. ~/.../src $ mocha
  2. ~/.../src $ mocha test
  3. ~/.../src $ mocha test/
  4. ~/.../src $ mocha ./test/
  5. ~/.../src $ mocha ./test/*.js

but non worked... all I get is just one test file running and the rest are ignored.

The docs say that (1) should do the job but well it doesn't.

Well... I'm an idiot. I had it.only in one of my files and I forgot it. Removing the .only was the answer. All the test files are running now.

Sorry for that, shame on me...
