# nuxt test

> The test command runs tests using @nuxt/test-utils.

```bash [Terminal]
npx nuxt test [ROOTDIR] [--cwd=<directory>] [--logLevel=<silent|info|verbose>] [--dev] [--watch]
```

The `test` command runs tests using [`@nuxt/test-utils`](/docs/4.x/getting-started/testing). This command sets `process.env.NODE_ENV` to `test` if not already set.
