Tests silently pass when there is a broken import in the test code

See original GitHub issue

What are you trying to achieve?

For the tests to fail if there is a broken import in the Codecept testing code.

What do you get instead?

The tests silently do not run. There is no output to say there is an error. Our build pipeline passes.

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

$ codeceptjs run --verbose
✨  Done in 10.10s.

Provide test source code if related

This occurred when we had a broken import, which was incorrectly copied from our actual website source code, so it didn’t resolve in the codecept project:

import { SOMETHING } from 'some/path/which/does/not/exist';
