hardhat test should support pass-through of mocha arguments

[tmpfs]

In my terminal using the solarized color theme I cannot see the stack trace due to this long-standing issue that nobody wants to resolve. Also see this issue.

Normally I pass --no-color to mocha to bypass this problem but I cannot when executed via hardhat.

I was expecting npx hardhat test -- --no-color to pass the additional options to mocha(1) but it doesn't work.

Currently, I cannot read stack traces. Allowing additional custom mocha options would fix this issue 🙏

FYI, I tried adding a .mocharc.json and configuring mocha in package.json but neither appear to work either.

[tmpfs]

Ok, so my workaround for now so that my .mocharc.js file is respected is to call mocha directly rather than hardhat test.

Can you clarify your actual request here? 🙏

[tmpfs]

@feuGeneA, sure, I would like it if we could pass options to the mocha executable when running hardhat test in the standard manner:

hardhat test -- --no-color

Thanks 🙏

+1 to this - I want to use custom test reporters (Jenkins), and the arguments are not being passed through to mocha
