Cannot specify a custom Mocha reporter

[50Wliu]

While the option exists to specify a custom reporter (via mocha.reporter), that doesn't work in practice because of the structuredClone on the config object.

If you try, you'll get an error like

DataCloneError: class JunitSpecReporter extends mocha.reporters.Base {
    junitReporter;
    specReporter;
    constructor(run...<omitted>...
} could not be cloned.

You will need to pass the path to a reporter, not a reporter object, as tests are run in the extension host and not the CLI

Oh, awesome! Could this be documented? The typings had me believing otherwise (plus, this worked with the old index + runTest approach).

Edit: And thanks for the super-fast response :D

Ah, yea, I can try and narrow them a bit
