Thanks for the report. From your stack trace it looks as though it is an issue in istanbul. I'll investigate further

[domharrington]

As a workaround, you could try removing this line from the package.json

"test": "./node_modules/.bin/istanbul cover ./node_modules/.bin/_mocha test",

[byteshiva]

Thee workaround worked, as a workaround I have renamed fieldname from test to __test

    "__test": "istanbul cover ./node_modules/.bin/_mocha test",

[domharrington]

Does this ever get run? Can it not be removed? I think it is related to this issue: gotwarlost/istanbul#13
