I have the following scripts section in my projects package.json:
"scripts": {
"seed": "node bin/seed",
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
If i run $ npm test I get this:
>npm test
> [email protected] test C:\Users\m089269\WebstormProjects\node-mongo-seeds
> echo "Error: no test specified" && exit 1
"Error: no test specified"
npm ERR! Test failed. See above for more details.
npm ERR! not ok code 0
If i run $ npm seed, I get this:

Why does it recognize my test script but not my seed script?
EDIT
When I try npm run-script seed I get this error which is expected because I don't pass in a -d param:
$ npm run-script seed
> [email protected] seed C:\Users\m089269\WebstormProjects\node-mongo-seeds
> node bin/seed
Populate mongo from a set of .json files.
Usage: $ node seed
Options:
-d The path to your mongo db [required]
Missing required arguments: d
npm ERR! [email protected] seed: `node bin/seed`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
...
When I try npm run-script seed -d "localhost/ease" I get this error.
npm run-script seed -d localhost/ease-dev
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm info using [email protected]
npm info using [email protected]
npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, open 'C:\Users\m089269\WebstormProjects\node-mongo-seeds\node_modules\seed\package.json'

Why is it looking for a package.json in node_modules\seed? Seed is not even a dependency.
From the documentation:
npm supports the "scripts" member of the package.json script, for the following scripts:
prepublish: Run BEFORE the package is published. (Also run on local
npm installwithout any arguments.)prepare: Run both BEFORE the package is packed and published, on local
npm installwithout any arguments, and when installing git dependencies (See below). This is run AFTERprepublish, but BEFOREprepublishOnly.prepublishOnly: Run BEFORE the package is prepared and packed, ONLY on
npm publish.prepack: run BEFORE a tarball is packed (on
npm pack,npm publish, and when installing git dependencies).postpack: Run AFTER the tarball has been generated and moved to its final destination.
publish, postpublish: Run AFTER the package is published.
preinstall: Run BEFORE the package is installed
install, postinstall: Run AFTER the package is installed.
preuninstall, uninstall: Run BEFORE the package is uninstalled.
postuninstall: Run AFTER the package is uninstalled.
preupdate: Run BEFORE the package is updated with the update command.
update, postupdate: Run AFTER the package is updated with the update command.
pretest, test, posttest: Run by the
npm testcommand.prestop, stop, poststop: Run by the
npm stopcommand.prestart, start, poststart: Run by the
npm startcommand.prerestart, restart, postrestart: Run by the
npm restartcommand. Note:npm restartwill run the stop and start scripts if norestartscript is provided.Additionally, arbitrary scripts can be run by doing
npm run-script <stage> <pkg>.
You can see the reason why your npm test script works is because npm test is a built-in command. You must use npm run-script if you want to execute a script that is not executed by a built-in npm command.
