Error when I try to run `npm run test` in windows command prompt

Question

I tried to run npm run test on my directory but I get an error in the terminal that says:

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I searched around but the only thing I got close to the problem is this but there's nothing there that can help me fix it.

My OS is Windows 10 and the npm version is 8.1.0

Below is the content of the package.json file found inside the directory.

  "name": "angular-project-1",
  "version": "0.0.2",

I solved it by removing the dot ( . ) located before the entry directories called /node_modules and /src .

So this was before it was fixed:

"test": "./node_modules/.bin/mocha /src/spec/mocha-specs --recursive --reporter spec",
"test:part2": "./node_modules/.bin/mocha /src/spec/mocha-specs/part2/ --recursive --reporter spec",
"test:part3": "./node_modules/.bin/mocha /src/spec/mocha-specs/part3/ --recursive --reporter spec",

And this is after it is fixed:

"test": "/node_modules/.bin/mocha /src/spec/mocha-specs --recursive --reporter spec",
"test:part2": "/node_modules/.bin/mocha /src/spec/mocha-specs/part2/ --recursive --reporter spec",
"test:part3": "/node_modules/.bin/mocha /src/spec/mocha-specs/part3/ --recursive --reporter spec",
