Webdriverio Node.js Mocha Chai test skips describe block - mocha.js

Question

I am running this test and it seems that when the test get's to the function portion of my describe block, it skips the whole thing and gives a false positive for passing.
// required libraries
var webdriverio = require('webdriverio');
var describe = require('describe');
var after = require('after');
console.log("Lets begin");
describe('Title Test for google site', function() {
console.log("MARTY!!");
// set timeout to 10 seconds
this.timeout(10000);
var driver = {};
console.log("before we start");
// hook to run before tests
before( function (done) {
// load the driver for browser
console.log("before browser");
driver = webdriverio.remote({ desiredCapabilities: {browserName: 'firefox'} });
driver.init(done);
});
it('should load correct page and title', function () {
// load page, then call function()
return driver
.console.log("before site")
.url('http://www.ggogle.com')
// get title, then pass title to function()
.getTitle().then( function (title) {
// verify title
(title).should.be.equal("google");
// uncomment for console debug
// console.log('Current Page Title: ' + title);
});
});
});
// a "hook" to run after all tests in this block
after(function(done) {
driver.end(done);
});
console.log ("Fin");
This is the output I get
Lets begin
Fin
[Finished in 0.4s]
As you can see it skips everything else.

This is wrong and should be removed:
var describe = require('describe');
var after = require('after');
Mocha's describe and after are added to the global space of your test files by Mocha. You do not need to import them. Look at all the examples on the Mocha site, you won't find anywhere where they tell you to import describe and its siblings.
To get Mocha to add describe and its siblings, you need to be running your test through mocha. Running node directly on a test file won't work. And for mocha to be findable it has to be in your PATH. If you installed it locally, it is (most likely) not in your PATH so you have to give the full path ./node_modules/.bin/mocha.
