Description

I would love a feature to run mocha-phantomjs in watch-mode, such that it automatically runs all the tests when I save a file.

Mocha has this functionality built in with the -w parameter, but of course this does not work with mocha tests in a html harness.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a watch mode by monitoring file changes using Node.js fs.watch or chokidar, then re run the mocha phantomjs command when test files or source files change.
