mocha will run the tests in the specified file or directory that follows it, so the answer should be "mocha tests.js"

I've tested it and the challenge accepts what I wrote. (without quote marks, of course)

Test is plural so check your typing, I took me a bit to realize it's "tests" not "test"

You could automate it. Here's how:

  • In your ~/.bash_profile

    alias automocha="supervisor -q -n exit -x mocha -- -b"

  • install mocha & supervisor globally(optional - you can just install them locally to your project as devDependencies) 

    $ npm install -g supervisor mocha

when you run automocha on your project. It will automatically invoke mocha every time a file changes.
