make test doesn't do anything for mocha tests

Question

I'm following this example: http://brianstoner.com/blog/testing-in-nodejs-with-mocha/ I defined a Makefile in my root directory: ``` REPORTER = dot test: @NODE_ENV=test ./node_modules/.bin/mocha \ --reporter $(REPORTER) \ test-w: @NODE_ENV=test ./node_modules/.bin/mocha \ --reporter $(REPORTER) \ --watch .PHONY: test test-w ``` But when I run 'make test' it says "make: Nothing to be done for `test'."

Accepted Answer

Turns out Makefiles are tab-sensitive -- and those were clobbered when I cut-n-paste the file...

In vi, i turned on tabs and spacing to fix it:

```
vi Makefile
:set list
```

Now you can retab the file and ensure you are doing it correctly.
