Mocha does not catch crash in native extension

Prerequisites

• Checked that your issue hasn't already been filed by cross-referencing issues with the faq label
• Checked next-gen ES issues and syntax problems by using the same environment and/or transpiler configuration without Mocha to ensure it isn't just a feature that actually isn't supported in the environment in question or a bug in your code.
• 'Smoke tested' the code to be tested by running it outside the real test suite to get a better sense of whether the problem is in the code under test, your usage of Mocha, or Mocha itself
• Ensured that there is no discrepancy between the locally and globally installed versions of Mocha. You can find them with: node node_modules/.bin/mocha --version(Local) and mocha --version(Global). We recommend avoiding the use of globally installed Mocha.

Description

Hi,

I am running tests with electron-mocha which runs mocha behind the scenes AFAIK.

That's the output from CI:

> electron-mocha
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: __ZN2v816FunctionTemplate3NewEPNS_7IsolateEPFvRKNS_20FunctionCallbackInfoINS_5ValueEEEENS_5LocalIS4_EENSA_INS_9SignatureEEEiNS_19ConstructorBehaviorENS_14SideEffectTypeE

The command "npm run test" exited with 0.
Skipping a deployment with the releases provider because this is not a tagged commit

So kinda "no pasa nada" even though the node process got wrecked. Is there any way to catch those kinds of errors in Node.js?

Steps to Reproduce

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen]

Return non-zero exit code

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]

Presumably mocha exits with zero code

Reproduces how often: [What percentage of the time does it reproduce?]

Always

Versions

• The output of mocha --version and node node_modules/.bin/mocha --version: n/a | 5.2.0
• The output of node --version: v10.2.1
• The version and architecture of your operating system: macOS on Travis CI
• Your shell (bash, zsh, PowerShell, cmd, etc.):
• Your browser and version (if running browser tests):
• Any other third party Mocha related modules (with versions):
• The code transpiler being used:

@inukshuk you think it’s electron-mocha issue? 🤔
