mocha crashes with no method 'getWindowSize' (on process.stdout or tty) about mocha-multi HOT 2 CLOSED

This is caused by having more than one mocha floating around.

Normally, base.js is loaded early enough to not be affected by all the monkey patching (https://github.com/glenjamin/mocha-multi/blob/master/mocha-multi.js#L6)

For some reason, your custom reportering (this one? https://github.com/sjonnet19/mocha-cobertura-reporter) declare mocha as a "dependency", when it should really be a "peerDependency".

This causes a second base.js to be loaded - which only happens after the tty stuff has fired.

The simplest fix would be to add | cat onto the end of your mocha command, so it's not a tty and this code-path gets skipped.

Unfortunately mocha has quite a bit of hidden state, so there's not a huge amount I can do here.

Thanks for the explanation and easy fix, Glen. I suspect my fix above does not work correctly - and one of my reporters is using the additional base.js and not writing the output via mocha-multi.

I'm using a few different mocha reporters, and none of them declare the dependency correctly. Boo.
