Americano is a live HTML reporter for unit tests written for MochaJS.
I noticed there was a hole in the Mocha ecosystem that has a few rickity bridges crossing it but nothing stable and reliable. Mocha lacks a stable, nicely packaged, easy to use, solution to HTML live reloading. Americano aims to provide a lightweight solution to this problem.

1: Install
npm install americano-js --save-dev

{
// Directory containing test files.
"testDir": "test/**/*.js",
// Directory of files to watch for changes.
"watchDir": "public/*",
// Directory of files to ignore changes in (Optional)
"ignoreDir": "node_modules/*",
// Helper files for your mocha tets. Such as @babel-register or setting up JSDOM.
"helpers": [
"test/helper.js"
],
// Port you would like the test server to host results at. (defaults to 8080)
"port": 8080
