Custom reporter: Create option to pass in namespaced custom reporter path

[mcbriarty]

What is your Test Scenario?

Currently, the path to the custom reporter must be at the node_modules root level. A reporter that I created lives in a namespaced location so I need to add a postinstall action that moves the folder from the namespace to the root level. It would be great if we could avoid the postinstall command.

What are you suggesting?

Pass in an optional path to the reporter so we can keep our custom reporter in our namespace:

node_modules/@someNamespace/testcafe-reporter-custom

What alternatives have you considered?

n/a

Additional context

Reference to the currently hardcoded path:

testcafe/src/runner/bootstrapper.ts

Line 291 in 251c9aa

return require('testcafe-reporter-' + reporterName);

Thank you for the good suggestion. We will help you if he wants to do PR. In the meantime, you can install your package without scopes using the next npm 6+ feature:

npm i --save testcafe-reporter-custom@npm:@someNamespace/testcafe-reporter-custom

Thanks! I hadn't known about the alternate install method introduced in npm 6 and it works like a charm.
