How to tell mocha where to find my tests recursively?

Question

I have the following folder structure:

When I run the 'npm test' from the following location

C:\myproject\tests> npm test

I get the following warning because it cannot find the tests to be run.

Warning: Could not find any test files matching pattern: test
No test files found
npm ERR! Test failed. See above for more details.

How can I configure it to tell Mocha to run only all my 'handler.test.js' files?

I have this on my package.json

"scripts": { "test": "mocha './lambda/**/*.test.js'"}

I would expect that to work, but it is not finding the tests files.

Try this:

"scripts": { "test": "mocha tests/lambda/**/*.test.js --recursive" }

I am not using nodemon. And 'mocha --recursive' will not work for me. Thanks

You were under something. The following works for me: "mocha ./lambda/**/*.test.js --recursive"
