sending arguments to test script with istanbul

Question

I'm trying to see my Mocha test code coverage with istanbul, but I need to supply the --recursive arguments to the test script _mocha, because else it only runs the tests in the test directory.

I tried istanbul cover "_mocha --recursive" but it says Unable to resolve file [_mocha --recursive].

Answer 1

it seems the following works:

istanbul cover _mocha -- --recursive
