Support custom interfaces about wdio-mocha-framework HOT 3 OPEN

Does this seem like a reasonable request?

Yes absolutely

from wdio-mocha-framework.

Here are my current thoughts on the subject.

Require a static variable on the interface, something like description. The description could be a string or an object. So if are just "extending" bdd you could say description="bdd", but if you have some some completely alternate interface you would need to be more descriptive.

The object would look like this:

description: {
    hooks:["beforeEach", "foo", "bar"]
    test: "it"
}

Example file:

var Mocha = require('mocha');


module.exports = Mocha.interfaces["test-interface"] = function(suite) {
    .. Normal logic here...
}
module.exports.description = "bdd";

Example file 2:

var Mocha = require('mocha');


module.exports = Mocha.interfaces["test-foo-interface"] = function(suite) {
    .. Normal logic here...
}
module.exports.description = {
    hooks:["foo", "bar"],
    test: "HiYa"
};

Then wdio-mocha-framework adapter would process this description wrap it appropriately. The static INTERFACES descriptions would change for consistency.

I don't mind looking into this if the plan looks good to you, but it might be a little while before I get to it. I am guessing I have a unique use case an no one else is clamoring for this one though.

We could also optionally default to bdd, but that seems potentially dangerous as not wrapping the needed functions would cause unexpected behavior. I think that throwing an error when description is not specified would be a better option.
