Optional path for Mocha approvals not working as expected about approvals.nodejs HOT 4 CLOSED

I went ahead and just committed a branch so you can reproduce the problem as well as see the entirety of my configuration and test example.

To run the tests, clone the project, run npm i and then run npm test.

@cmstead For your issue a couple things.

1. Looks like it's an issue with this line https://github.com/approvals/Approvals.NodeJS/blob/master/lib/Providers/BeforeEachVerifierBase.js#L14 - if the directory doesn't exist it throws and error? I'll file an issue to avoid that error going forward.
2. If you create the ./test/approvals folder - it ran the tests for me.
3. I put a ton of work (including an updated BeyondCompare reporter that looks for v4 into the v2.0 release of approvals. Any chance you can grab the latest and see if it'll work for you? in your config you would change your reporters list to look like ['beyondcompare']

Sorry, I should have put an empty file in the approvals folder, git ignores empty folders, sorry about that.

Anyway, I'll give it another go, but the thrown error wasn't the issue, (I expect to see an error thrown and I'm okay with it, and it helped me diagnose what was happening) it was where files were ending up. So strange it worked on your machine, but not mine. Maybe I just need to do a clean install of all packages. Thanks for checking it out.

Noticing that (the files are not landing in the specified directory...) I'll see what's going on.
