Description
Hello,
I have a Visual Studio solution which contains multiple Node.js projects. I would like to run all tests of all projects using mocha. For that I have to install mocha for every project locally, so that the tests can be found by NTVS. So I'll have mocha installed multiple times on my harddrive. Isn't it possible to have it installed once only?
Thanks,
Natascha

Research direction
Start by locating NTVS's Mocha test-discovery path for a Visual Studio solution containing multiple Node.js projects, then check how it resolves project-local installations. Done means Mocha can be installed once globally while tests from all projects are still discovered and run.
