Overview
Description
This PR addresses an issue with the handling of errors in global teardown functions. Previously, if a global teardown function threw an error, the error was not logged clearly, and the process exit code might not reflect the failure.
Changes Made
Updated the _runGlobalFixtures method in lib/mocha.js to:
Log errors with a clear and descriptive message.
Set the process exit code to 1 when a global teardown function fails.
Improved debugging output to aid in identifying which function caused the error.
New Behavior
When a global teardown function fails:
A descriptive error message is logged.
The process exits with a non-zero code, signaling the failure.
