Support .mocharc Files

Feature Request: Support .mocharc files for discovering and running tests

Description: Mocha supports running tests directly from typescript files with the ts-node package. This is a really neat feature for developers since it eliminates the need to transpile tests before running the tests. However, the VS test adapter explicitly reads js files and passes those to mocha to determine what tests are available.

It would be great if the test adapter could read any mocharc file to determine what files to load and how to load them so that mocha can return the tests that can be executed.

Thanks!

Yes !

I'm having the exact same issue right now. My tests are done in typescript, and need to be run with ts-node require'd into the project. I have set it up in my .mochrc.json, but NodeJS Tools doesn't want it.
More so, because my project transpiles into a separate directory, Visual Studio can't pick up the transpiled scripts...
