I am also facing the same issue, any workarounds?

@amphro Hi Thomas, don't know if you'd seen this one already but we're looking to publish our DX plugin on NPM and VS Code Extensions this week and this is an issue we've also come across recently.

from sfdx-plugin-generate.

I had an old plugin I generated awhile back that IS giving me the actual test / mocha output. I will see if I can compare the dependency versions from there to the newest generator's dependencies, see if I can find any common links...

same issue on latest generator.

Update:
If I change package.json dependencies to

  "dependencies": {
    "@oclif/command": "^1.8.0",
    "@oclif/config": "^1.17.0",
    "@oclif/plugin-help": "^3.2.0",
    "@oclif/errors": "^1",
    "@salesforce/command": "2.1.0",
    "@salesforce/core": "2.1.4",
    "tslib": "^1.13.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@salesforce/dev-config": "^1",
    "@oclif/dev-cli": "^1.22.2",
    "@oclif/test": "^1.2.6",
    "@types/chai": "^4.2.12",
    "@types/mocha": "^5.2.7",
    "@types/node": "^10.17.28",
    "chai": "^4.2.0",
    "globby": "^10.0.2",
    "mocha": "^5.2.0",
    "nyc": "^14.1.1",
    "rimraf": "^3.0.2",
    "ts-node": "^8.10.2",
    "typescript": "^3.6.4"
  },
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=8.0.0"
  },

It does work.

But had to also change tsconfig.json to have '"strictNullChecks": false' in it.
