## The `test/` Directory

By default, `mocha` looks for the glob `./test/*.js` and `./test/*.coffee`, so you may want to put your tests in `test/` folder.
By default, `mocha` looks for the glob `./test/*.js`, so you may want to put your tests in `test/` folder. If you want to include sub directories, use `--recursive`, because of `./test/*.js` is only matched with files which in the first depth of `test` directory and `./test/**/*.js` is only matched with files which in the second depth of `test` directory.

This depends on if you pass a glob pattern as a string or use shell expansion. Shell expansion will only expand to the second level, and actually exactly the second level, not the first one, so that is also a bit confusing to many
