To run Mocha tests with a reporter, you can specify the reporter option when running your tests. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Install the mocha and mocha-reporter package if you haven't already:
1
npm install mocha mocha-reporter --save-dev


  1. Create your Mocha test files (e.g., test.js) and write your test cases.
  2. Run your Mocha tests with the desired reporter by specifying the reporter option in the command line. For example, to run your tests with the spec reporter:
1
./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha test.js --reporter spec


You can replace spec with any other supported reporter format (e.g., dot, nyan, json, etc.). You can find the list of available reporters in the Mocha documentation: https://mochajs.org/#reporters


That's it! Your Mocha tests will now run with the specified reporter and display the test results in the desired format.
