error in afterAll doesn't affect test run (don't get reported either)

[aaronabramov]

the following test passes:

afterAll(() => {
  console.log('hey');
  expect(1).toBe(2);
});

test('one', () => {});
test('two', () => {});

and produces the following output:

here's some context on why it can be happening:

1. If i have a describe block with an afterAll hook and 10 tests, and all of my test pass, but afterAll hook throws, i'd expect all 10 tests to fail with the same error (taken from afterAll hook failure)
2. Given #1, i can not determine the state of the test (failed or passed) until i run all afterAll hooks for it and make sure they don't throw.
3. if i have a global afterAll hook i can only mark test as passed or failed after i run this hook, that means every single test's state resolution is blocked on this one global afterAll hook.

In the world of single process jasmine/mocha that would mean that you can't stream the results in real time, but rather wait for the whole test suite to be finished and then print the whole thing.

@suchipi brought up that rspec treats afterAll failures as a separate thing, i tried it on a simple rspec test:
