Before updating it worked well.

I just ran into this too. If you just run mocha without anything wrapping it the problem becomes clearer:

$ mocha
env: node\r: No such file or directory

It seems the package was published with CRLF line endings, which will cause issues on non-windows platforms:

$ file *.js bin/* lib/*.js
browser-entry.js:       ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
index.js:               ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
mocha.js:               UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines, with CRLF, LF line terminators
bin/_mocha:             a /usr/bin/env node script text executable, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
bin/mocha:              a /usr/bin/env node script text executable, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
bin/options.js:         ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
lib/context.js:         ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
lib/errors.js:          ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
lib/growl.js:           ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

yeah, shebang in /bin/mocha got broken because of the \r.
This renders mocha cli useless on many Unix-based systems (I use Fedora).
@juergba

[juergba]

yes, I have seen it. I'm working on it. Any suggestions?

[kevinoid]

I agree with @jasonk and @AviVahl that the \r on the shebang line is causing breakage. I just wanted to note that the shebang is automatically fixed during installation by npm v5.4.0 and later (due to npm/npm@0ef320cb4 from npm/npm#16634). So the breakage is conditional on the version of npm used to install mocha.

[AviVahl]

@juergba thx for the quick response.
check this out: https://help.github.com/en/articles/dealing-with-line-endings
you might want to add a .gitattributes file to the repo and rerelease with LF line endings.

[AviVahl]

@kevinoid I personally use latest yarn@1.15.2 and it breaks there...

[kevinoid]

@AviVahl Does yarn change the shebang line itself? If not, that would explain why yarn is also affected.

[cspotcode]

Came here to suggest the gitattributes approach as well. It'll force LF checkouts on all platforms; I add one religiously to all new projects.

* text=auto EOL=LF

EDIT: also add an editorconfig forcing LF line endings if you haven't already.

[AviVahl]

@kevinoid I guess they leave the file untouched. AFAIK, on Linux, yarn basically creates symlink from .bin to the file specified in the "bin" field of the package's package.json. If that file was published with CRLF, it breaks. This is unlike the Windows behavior, where a proxy .cmd file is auto-created by yarn/npm.

[juergba]

@cspotcode can we chat please on gitter?

[jasonk]

Since mocha is already using prettier, the easy fix would be to change the prettier config in package.json to enforce specific line endings instead of just keeping whatever is there, and to ensure that prettier gets run before publishing...

// in package.json:
...
"scripts": {
  "prepublishOnly": "nps format test clean build",
},
"prettier": {
  "endOfLine": "nl"
}
