Standard mocha code in the documentation doesn't work

[Prakash Karaka]

Hello I am trying to make the below code. the standard mocha code sample  in the documentation here http://nightwatchjs.org/guide

I am seeing below error:

 1) Github "before all" hook:

     Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function

      at Nightwatch.<anonymous> (node_modules/nightwatch/lib/runner/clientmanager.js:43:9)

      at Nightwatch.finished (node_modules/nightwatch/lib/index.js:243:8)

      at node_modules/nightwatch/lib/index.js:207:10

      at AsyncTree.<anonymous> (node_modules/nightwatch/lib/core/queue.js:212:9)

Please help me in fixing it. No clue how to proceed further

var nightwatch = require('nightwatch');

describe('Github', function() {

  var client = nightwatch.initClient({

    silent : true

  });

  var browser = client.api();

  this.timeout(99999999);

  before(function() {

    browser.perform(function() {

      console.log('beforeAll')

    });

  });

  beforeEach(function(done) {

    browser.perform(function() {

      console.log('beforeEach')

    });

    client.start(done);

  });

  it('Demo test GitHub', function (done) {

    browser

      .url('https://github.com/nightwatchjs/nightwatch')

      .waitForElementVisible('body', 5000)

      .assert.title('nightwatchjs/nightwatch · GitHub')

      .waitForElementVisible('body', 1000)

      .assert.visible('.container .breadcrumb a span')

      .assert.containsText('.container .breadcrumb a span', 'nightwatch', 'Checking project title is set to nightwatch');

    client.start(done);

  });

  afterEach(function() {

    browser.perform(function() {

      console.log('afterEach')

    });

  });

  after(function(done) {

    browser.end(function() {

      console.log('afterAll')

    });

    client.start(done);

  });

});

Hi ,

I am also facing the same issue.

I have modified nightwatch.json to add

"test_runner" : {
  "type" : "mocha",
  "options" : {
    "ui" : "bdd",
    "reporter" : "nyan"
  }

Then I run ./bin/nightwatch -t ./examples/mocha/googleDemoTest.js

I am getting following error

ReferenceError: describe is not defined

    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/mallik/nightwatch/examples/mocha/googleDemoTest.js:1:63)

    at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)

Thanks,
