Description of the improvement / report

Thanks for this awesome project.
As I know, mocha could support third party UIs , and webdriverIO could have mocha integration, but could we define third party UI with webdriverio mocha framework? I read the docs https://webdriver.io/docs/frameworks/#using-mocha and https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/tree/main/packages/wdio-mocha-framework#readme, but still very unclear about it.

@ethanyou725 can you elaborate on why you are interested to use a 3rd party UI for Mocha?

Thanks for your kindly reply. Because we are migrating some exist test cases (*.spec.ts) to webdriverio.

e.g.
old case:

test('test case', async () => { 
    await step('1=1', async () => {
        await expect(1).toBe(1)
    })
})

in mocha without custom ui, bdd style it must use describe and it,
and with custom ui interface, we could have the ability not change the spec file.

Have you tried to set mochaOpts.ui to tdd?

Have you tried to set mochaOpts.ui to tdd?

yes, tdd provides different function suit, it could be more convenient if support custom ui.

Actually with qunit you can run tests like this but it seems that reporters don't pick up the right test data for the reporting. Any contributions to improve this behavior would be appreciated.
