tests in nodejs with compoundjs and mocha

I have created from scratch scaffolded compoundjs app using:

compound init test_app && cd test_app

Than

compound g crud user id name password created:date

Than

npm test

which runs: ./node_modules/.bin/mocha --include test/init.js test//.test.js

However, I only get the following output errors:

> test_app@0.0.1 test /home/ubuntu/test_app

./node_modules/.bin/mocha --include test/init.js test//.test.js

✖ 1 of 10 tests failed:
