When I run npm test it outputs:
mocha ./tests/ --recursive --reporter mocha-junit-reporter And all tests run well. But when I try to invoke mocha ./tests/flickr/mytest --reporter junit-reporter I got:
Unknown "reporter": junit-reporter How to pass it correctly?

From mocha-junit-reporter's readme:
# install the package npm install mocha-junit-reporter --save-dev # run the test with reporter mocha test --reporter mocha-junit-reporter --reporter-options mochaFile=./path_to_your/file.xml I spotted two issues in your command:
mocha ./tests/flickr/mytest --reporter junit-reporter First issue is mocha in above is a mocha command from global node module. However, when executing npm test, it actually targets local mocha command inside our node_modules folder.
Second issue is the name of reporter should be mocha-junit-reporter not junit-reporter
Solution
Workaround is to target local mocha
./node_modules/.bin/mocha ./tests/flickr/mytest --reporter mocha-junit-reporter This is preferrable solution.
Alternative solution is to install mocha-junit-reporter for global node modules as below:
npm install -g mocha-junit-reporter mocha ./tests/flickr/mytest --reporter mocha-junit-reporter This is not too preferrable because you can target different version of mocha and mocha-junit-reporter in global compare to the one in local node modules.
Cheers
