Unexpected behavior for __tests__ directory

[Flaise]

Test project:
https://github.com/Flaise/power-assert-test

Environment:

• Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
• node 4.1.1
• npm 3.3.5
• mocha 2.3.3
• power-assert 1.1.0
• espower-babel 3.3.0

Output:

$ npm run test-works

> power-assert-test@0.0.0-test.0 test-works .../power-assert-test
> ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha --compilers js:espower-babel/guess



  assert
    1) should not give the same output as a regular assertion


  0 passing (30ms)
  1 failing

  1) assert should not give the same output as a regular assertion:

      AssertionError:   # test/test.js:8

  assert(a.value === b.value)
         | |     |   | |     
         | |     |   | 4     
         | |     |   Object{value:4}
         | 3     false       
         Object{value:3}     

  [number] b.value
  => 4
  [number] a.value
  => 3

      + expected - actual

      -false
      +true

That's what your readme files say is supposed to happen.

$ npm run test-broken

> power-assert-test@0.0.0-test.0 test-broken .../power-assert-test
> ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha --compilers js:espower-babel/guess __tests__



  assert
    1) should not give the same output as a regular assertion


  0 passing (15ms)
  1 failing

  1) assert should not give the same output as a regular assertion:

      AssertionError: false == true
      + expected - actual

      -false
      +true

      at decoratedAssert (node_modules/empower/lib/decorate.js:44:25)
      at powerAssert (node_modules/empower/index.js:58:32)
      at Context.<anonymous> (__tests__/test.js:8:9)

This isn't as advertised. I don't see why it wouldn't give the same output as the other test configuration.

Hi @Flaise , thank you for reporting.

test-broken run does not produce power-assert output because __tests__ dir is not recognized as test dir by default. To configure test dir, please see If your tests are not in test dir section of README.
