./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha: not found, mocha bin is now in ./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha

[alberto56]

Starting a few days ago, running:

npm install mocha 

Seems to install the mocha binary in ./node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha

Previously it was in ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha

I could not find any reason for this. Is this by design?

Before Mocha v10.0.0 we had bin/_mocha and bin/mocha executables.
With mocha@10.0.0 we have bin/_mocha and bin/mocha.js, so we have added an extension to one of the files. We have listed this topic as breaking change in our changelog with links explaining the reasons.

Hi Alberto,

I noticed your issue. Maybe a strange question, but why don't you use node_modules/.bin/mocha?

Edit: I saw that I had written it in Dutch.

For reference, the changelog is in #4863, thanks for the response.

@tombrouwer I did not know about node_modules/.bin/mocha!

I will close this issue, thanks for the reply.

Or how about npx mocha
