I’ve cloned down the repo to run tests and get a little familiar with the project by hacking on it, but I’ve run into several errors trying to get things to work. At first I couldn’t get the tests to run at all. I was getting this error:

No coverage information was collected, exit without writing coverage information

 npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.
But I found that it was because of this issue and I needed to correct it by making the path to _mocha relative in the npm test script in package.json like so:
// package.json
"scripts": {
    "test": "istanbul cover node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha tests/all -- -R spec --recursive",
    "lint": "eslint .",
    "integration-test": "mocha tests/integration_test"
So I fixed that and was able to run the tests, but then I had 4 tests fail:
  382 passing (2s)
  4 failing
  1) #zipService() should zip a whole service:
     TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
      at C:\Users\Abdur\Projects\Node\serverless\lib\plugins\package\tests\zipService.js:88:49
  2) #zipService() should keep file permissions:
     TypeError: Cannot read property 'unixPermissions' of undefined
      at C:\Users\Abdur\Projects\Node\serverless\lib\plugins\package\tests\zipService.js:123:49
  3) #zipService() should exclude defined files and folders:
     TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
      at C:\Users\Abdur\Projects\Node\serverless\lib\plugins\package\tests\zipService.js:170:49
  4) #zipService() should include a previously excluded file:
     TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

So now I’m wondering if anyone that is contributing, is doing so on a Windows machine. If not, I would love to be the first!
BTW, I’m running Windows 8.1, Node 4.4, NPM 2.15.1
              
Have you been able to get this running on Windows ?.

I cloned the repository on Windows, but get a different error ‘test.js was not expected’. Tried the same on my mac, and there the  ‘npm test’ runs successfully after simply doing a clone and ‘npm install’.

I’m using Windows 10, npm 3.10.9, Node 6.9.2.
