Yes, I run with npm run test-app (but npm run test is work fine).
My code

// package.json
{
  "name": "test1.7-2",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "start": "meteor run",
    "test": "meteor test --once --driver-package meteortesting:mocha",
    "test-app": "TEST_WATCH=1 meteor test --full-app --driver-package meteortesting:mocha",
    "visualize": "meteor --production --extra-packages bundle-visualizer"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@babel/runtime": "^7.0.0-beta.51",
    "meteor-node-stubs": "^0.4.1"
  },
  "meteor": {
    "mainModule": {
      "client": "client/main.js",
      "server": "server/main.js"
    },
    "testModule": "tests/main.js"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "chai": "^4.1.2"
  }
}

@robfallows, Which recommendation of meteor test package (base on Vue)?
I like practicalmeteor:mocha with Server/Client mode, but it is out of date!!!

5

The recommendation is meteortesting:mocha.

6

But I have above problem npm run test-app with import .test.js file from /imports/api

7

Testing in Meteor has had it’s quirks for a long time. We had the same issue with imports not working in /tests so we renamed them to /specs and it runs (for package tests). You might want to try a rename.

8

@jamiter thanks, I will try soon.

9

@robfallows, how about cultofcoders:mocha?

10

I’ve not used it myself, but it’s reasonably up-to-date, so give it a shot. The Cult of Coders team is pretty responsive if you find any issues.
