A custom Mocha reporter could be helpful

[Mithgol]

Mocha cannot (for the reasons I described in mochajs/mocha#960) run tests in the node-webkit's environment with any of its own reporters unless a complex enough workaround is used. (Node-webkit's /tests/index.html is an example of such workaround.)

Writing a node-webkit-oriented reporter for Mocha could make testing more comfortable, eliminating a need for such workarounds.

I do not, however, have time to write such a reporter myself, and thus I am opening an issue to inform the community.

I've started doing some work that could help with this, https://github.com/tivac/falco/blob/tests/test/reporter.js

Still very rough around the edges, but thanks to @BenoitZugmeyer's comments in that mocha thread I was able to make some headway. I'm not good enough at node-webkit yet to know what implications this setup will have for my plans to test code in the browser context yet, I may have fucked it all up. 😟
