Mocha + RequireJS = AMD testing

Question

I have a hard time connecting Mocha to RequireJS based application, may be You'll be able to come up with something :). After many hours when I've been trying to load AMD modules and simply console.log some 'fired' info that the module has been loaded... nothing happend had happened - the program just ended and printed out some mocha info.

var facade = requirejs(['../../public/js/scripts/widgets/widgets/article/main.js'],      
    function(mod) {
        console.log('fired')
});
// run with: $ mocha -u tdd test.js --reporter spec

and than I've come up with the idea to fire just this to test callbacks:

setTimeout((function() {
    console.log('fired');
}), 5000);
// run with: $ mocha -u tdd test.js --reporter spec

also didn't work. So finally I've run both with

$ node test.js

and finally it worked. So question is than: How to run Mocha test with callbacks handling, as those are essential for AMD testing?
