Details

If you typo a --test-path argument, runtest.py cheerfully hands that along to the test harness, which fails to find the directory and produces a test-runner screen with an empty list of tests.  This is slow (because you have to wait for everything to start up) and confusing.

runtest.py should notice the typo and bail out before executing anything.

This appears to have been fixed at some point along the way. Running |mach mochitest invalid/path| errors out real quick.
