Add the ability to list files to be tested

[plroebuck]

Description

Output files to be tested (in load order) with the debug package using the namespace 'mocha:files' in "bin/_mocha" file.

var debug = require('debug')('mocha:files');    // immediately before L16
...
debug('files:', files);    // L575

Additional Information

Test as follows:

1. Using default "test" directory

   $ DEBUG='mocha:files' mocha --recursive

2. Using extended glob (results should be same as case 1)

   $ DEBUG='mocha:files' mocha 'test/**/*.js'

3. Using default "test" directory, excluding files in subdir "setup"

   $ DEBUG='mocha:files' mocha --exclude 'test/setup/**' --recursive

4. Using extended glob, excluding files in subdir "setup" (results should be same as case 3)

   $ DEBUG='mocha:files' mocha --exclude 'test/setup/**' 'test/**/*.js'

5. Using default "test" directory, with prepended file "test/setup/init.js"

   $ DEBUG='mocha:files' mocha --file test/setup/init.js --exclude 'test/setup/**' --recursive

6. Using extended glob, with prepended file "test/setup/init.js" (results should be same as case 5)

   $ DEBUG='mocha:files' mocha --file test/setup/init.js --exclude 'test/setup/**' 'test/**/*.js'

Anybody mind if I take this one?

[plroebuck]

Exists in Mocha-6.0 (though hate the namespace) using:

$ DEBUG='mocha:cli:run:helpers' mocha --recursive

[holybubbles]

So should someone close this issue? Since it's already fixed now?

[plroebuck]

I'll leave it open for now and see if I can use a simpler namespace...

@plroebuck I'm confused; is this intended to be user-facing? If so, DEBUG is sort of a wonky way to do it. It would be cool to see:

1. A list of all test files
2. A tree of all test files and user code (stuff not in a node_modules)
3. A --dry-run which would dump all suites but not run any tests

[boneskull]

Given the cross-cutting concerns that such an implementation would need to touch, I don't think this is a good candidate for a first issue

This was implemented and closed quite quickly it seems.

Can we re-open this PR?

It seems like something a lot of people would like!
