Bug Report
Current Behavior
@babel/register doesn't seem to use .babelrc file.
Input Code
I have the following TypeScript file containing some tests:
import { expect } from 'chai';
describe('sample', (): void => {
it('Returns false', (): void => {
expect(false).to.equal(false);
});
});My package.json contains the following script:
"scripts": {
"test": "npx mocha --require @babel/register spec/**/*.spec.ts"
}The following error is throwed when invoking the script:
import { expect } from 'chai';
