[CyanGlory]

I'v installed the dependence, but , I can't run the test.js file like this:

node .\base-auth\test.js

It shows ReferenceError: describe is not defined. can they be runing successfully in your computer?

I use vscode 1.17.1 Os: windows node is the latest version 8.6.0

test.js是个测试脚本，你先安装Mocha，然后运行Mocha 404/test.js @CyanGlory

Once you've done an npm install, run npm test.

If you'd like to specifically target the tests in base-auth/test.js, change the highest-level describe to describe.only, like so:

describe.only('Koa Basic Auth', function() { ...

npm test actually runs a Makefile in the background, not just simply running the test file with the Node command line.

hi @CyanGlory unfortunately, the current "npm test" command is based on a makefile to manage all the scripts to execute. "make" is not natively available on windows, you need to install it (https://cognitivewaves.wordpress.com/makefiles-windows/)

I was curious, why use make and not just npm?

[kevinrambaud]

I think that this is what tj used to use to manage scripting orchestration in his projects.

this is old, converting to npm run is welcomed

[joeyguerra]

I submitted a PR to use npm run instead.
