Simple mocha test fails with command not recognized *.* - node.js

Question

I am working through a tutorial/training on Puppeteer with jest and mocha-steps and am running into an issue at the very beginning with running a simple test to ensure the framework is functioning as expected.
Here is the test
describe('Config test', () => {
it('should work', () => {
console.log('done')
})
})
Here is my package.json file
{
"name": "pptr-mocha",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha --timeout=30000 ./build/tests/**.js",
"clean": "rm -rf build",
"build": "babel --preset es2015 -d build/ src/"
},
"author": "BBB",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"chai": "^4.2.0",
"mocha": "^7.1.1",
"mocha-steps": "^1.3.0",
"puppeteer": "^2.1.1"
},
"devDependencies": {
"babel-cli": "^6.26.0",
"babel-preset-es2015": "^6.24.1"
}
}
When I run npm run build, the build folder structure is generated, as is my es5 version of the test. That all seems to work as described.
When I run npm run test, the test fails with the following error and I have been unable to figure out why.

The tutorial is done on a Mac and I am in Windows, so I am not sure if that is the issue or not.
Also, running in vscode, if that matter.
Any assistance someone could offer up would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The issue was with these two lines given that I am running in a Windows environment.
"test": "./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha --timeout=30000 ./build/tests/**.js",
"clean": "rm -rf build",
Problem 1: In the "test": line, it couldn't find node as it must not be defined in my system path. So the line was changed to this.
"test": "node ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha --timeout=30000 ./build/tests/**.js",
In the clean line, the commands defined there assume mac/linux OS, so this line was changed to the following.
"clean": "rd /s /q build",
rd = remove directory
/s = get all files and sub-dirs
/q = do not prompt for confirmation
