Had another test box (Mac OS) where this was failing to generate reports. Go it working, but still not quite sure how. Things I did:

upgraded my npm from 2.3.x to 2.15.x
removed and reinstalled mocha and mochawesome, --save-dev
removed and reinstall mocha globally (–save)

Before this, when I ran mocha from the command line, it would not find the mochawesome reporter; now it does (mocha tests/bugTest.js --reporter mochawesome). If I run ‘npm test’, it works. If I try ‘npm run test’, I get the ELIFECYCLE error mentioned in previous comment.

That’s kind of a mess of clues, but if you revert to an earlier instance of npm, then remove and reinstall mocha, I bet you can reproduce this.
