How to run mocha with deno

How can we run mocha test cases in deno? I have one project created with node and making it compatible with deno. all my test cases has been written in node mocha. so similar way if i try to run deno run test:mocha with the tasks inside deno.json

...
    "test:deno": "mocha"
...

...
    "test:deno": "mocha"
...

Getting below error

deno run test:deno

Task test:deno mocha
error: unexpected argument '--loader' found

  tip: a similar argument exists: '--reload'
  tip: to pass '--loader' as a value, use '-- --loader'

Usage: deno run --reload[=<CACHE_BLOCKLIST>...] [SCRIPT_ARG]...

deno run test:deno

Task test:deno mocha
error: unexpected argument '--loader' found

  tip: a similar argument exists: '--reload'
  tip: to pass '--loader' as a value, use '-- --loader'

Usage: deno run --reload[=<CACHE_BLOCKLIST>...] [SCRIPT_ARG]...
