webdriverio: Bail config doesn't work with Jasmine

The problem

Using jasmine, a bail=1 argument seems to have no effect. It always runs the full test suite.

I’ve even tried adding a custom afterTest hook with process.exit(1), but that doesn’t seem to do it either. Neither does throwing and exception.

Environment

WebdriverIO version: 4.6.2
Node.js version: 7.7.2
Testrunner mode
sync mode
Additional wdio packages used (if applicable): wdio-jasmine-framework@0.2.19 , jasmine@2.5.3

I would expect bail=1 to stop the tests running regardless of the framework (from everything I have read). At a minimum the documentation should say exactly what you did:

The bail property WebdriverIO provides is just so the launcher doesn’t spawn more instances. Testing frameworks must also support aborting after the first failure.`

I’m going to do more experimentation, but it also seems like I should be able to abort all future tests from the afterEach (and other) hooks. But I haven’t been able to make that work either.
