I have the following scripts section in my projects package.json:

scripts: {

    seed: node bin/seed,

    test: echo Error: no test specified && exit 1

  },

If i run $ npm test I get this:

>npm test



> [email protected] test C:Usersm089269WebstormProjectsnode-mongo-seeds

> echo Error: no test specified && exit 1



Error: no test specified

npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.

If i run $ npm seed, I get this:

Why does it recognize my test script but not my seed script?

EDIT

When I try npm run-script seed I get this error which is expected because I don't pass in a -d param:

$ npm run-script seed



> [email protected] seed C:Usersm089269WebstormProjectsnode-mongo-seeds

> node bin/seed



Populate mongo from a set of .json files.

 Usage: $ node seed



Options:

  -d  The path to your mongo db  [required]



Missing required arguments: d



npm ERR! [email protected] seed: `node bin/seed`

npm ERR! Exit status 1

...

When I try npm run-script seed -d localhost/ease I get this error.

npm run-script seed -d localhost/ease-dev

npm info it worked if it ends with ok

Why is it looking for a package.json in node_modulesseed? Seed is not even a dependency.
