When running programmatically with mocha-multi, we're limited to passing in strings, and then mocha-multi and Mocha require those reporters using "require". This creates challenges for reporters built using ESM. Many other test frameworks deal with this by allowing the reporter to be required/imported in a launcher script and then passing the imported module into the framework instead.
Mocha has this implemented already, but mocha-multi does not.
I added the ability to pass in a reporter module into mocha-multi. Prior to making the updates, I tried several things, including transpiling the reporter to CJS. At the end of the day, what solved my problem was modifying this module so that neither Mocha or mocha-multi is responsible for importing the reporter.
I added the following items to help validate functionality:
Hoping this helps others as well!
