I installed should, supertest and sinon, but i can not get past this error. I also tried installing jasmine and running that but I get 0 assertions...etc. Thank you!

Use mocha . By default compound not using nodeunit since version 1.1.5.

npm install mocha should

run tests

NODE_ENV=test mocha test/controllers/*
