Steps to Reproduce

I dont know how to reproduce it.

Expected Results

List my typescript test in the sidebar. Like the command "npm test" or "mocha" both works on my side.

Actual Results

Gives a error.

Settings file

    "mocha.runTestsOnSave": "true",
    "mocha.options": {
        "opts": "./test/mocha.opts"
    },

Mocha opts file:

--require ts-node/register
--require test/tshook.js
test/**/*.ts

tshook.js file (tests use another tsconfig):

// eslint-disable-next-line no-undef
require('ts-node').register({
	project: 'test/tsconfig.json',
})

tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "./dist/",
        "target": "esnext",
        "module": "commonjs",
        "moduleResolution": "node",
        "importHelpers": true,
        "sourceMap": true,
        "experimentalDecorators": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "resolveJsonModule": true,
        "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
        
        "lib": [
            "dom",
            "esnext",
            "es6",
            "es7",
            "dom.iterable",
            "esnext.array"
        ],
        "rootDirs": [
            "src"
        ]
    },
    "include": [
        "../src/**/*",
        "./**/*"
    ],
    "compileOnSave": false
}

Versions

• VScode: v1.41
• Mocha SideBar: v0.22.0
• Node Version: v12.13.1

OS version

• Linux
• Mac
• [ x] Windows

Example for reproducing

I give my repo as example when this issue is not easy to fix.

The message side-bar: cant get tests Error: Mocha sidebar: Process exited with code 4294967295. See Mocha output for more info. means mocha cannot compile the test code. Although a better message should be implemented, the problem is the compilation error.

I cannot reproduce, but I don't have --require test/tshook.js nor "mocha.options". In my settings.json I have only:

		"mocha.files.glob": "tests/**/*.test.ts",
		"mocha.requires": [
			"ts-node/register",
			"source-map-support/register"
		],

Hope it helps
