How to run Jison tests with Node.js?

Question

Trying to run Jison unit tests, but the command fails. How do I fix that?

$ git clone git://github.com/zaach/jison.git

$ cd jison/
$ make test
node tests/all-tests.js

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^

make: *** [test] Error 1

Answer 1

Commands I used to fix the error:

npm install
rm -rf node_modules/jison
ln -s ../ node_modules/jison

npm install downloads all dependencies into ./node_modules, but that includes a copy of jison.

Answer 2

Add an npm install before make test.
