Configuring VS Code Test Explorer with electron-mocha

[jjeff]

This may be a topic for the Wiki, but I've been figuring out how to run Mocha tests on my Electron code in the Test Explorer in VS Code. I've got it working just fine in the Debugger (maybe another topic for the Wiki). But I can't seem to configure my tests to load in the Test Explorer.

I'm using Mocha Explorer, but I can't figure out how to tell it to use electron-mocha instead of (plain old) mocha. Of course, with plain old mocha I get errors that app and ipcMain are undefined, but when I set

  "mochaExplorer.mochaPath": "node_modules/electron-mocha/bin/electron-mocha",

in settings.json, I get an error saying

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bdd')
    at patchMocha (/Users/jeff/.vscode/extensions/hbenl.vscode-mocha-test-adapter-2.14.1/out/worker/bundle.js:870:64)
    at /Users/jeff/.vscode/extensions/hbenl.vscode-mocha-test-adapter-2.14.1/out/worker/bundle.js:5775:17
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)
    at fulfilled (/Users/jeff/.vscode/extensions/hbenl.vscode-mocha-test-adapter-2.14.1/out/worker/bundle.js:114:58)

But without it, I get errors about app being undefined.

Any thoughts?
