Updating to mocha v10 solved this issue. So check compatibility with Mocha v8

Thanks for reporting. Seems we are looking for a bin/mocha.js file in the npm package but mocha v8 did not have an extension there:

We should resolve the bin file defined in package.json to be independent instead of a hard-coded mocha.js.
