You can use the following example configuration in `package.json`:
For Mocha >= [v9.1.0](https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/releases/tag/v9.1.0), you can use the following example configuration in `package.json`:
```json
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha --reporter json > test-results.json"
"test": "mocha --reporter json --reporter-option output=test-results.json"
}
```

Test processing might fail if any of your tests write anything on standard output.
Mocha, unfortunately, doesn't have the option to store `json` output directly to the file, and we have to rely on redirecting its standard output.

Please update Mocha to version [v9.1.0](https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/releases/tag/v9.1.0) or above if you encounter this issue.
