How do I use Mocha with TSDX?

I'm putting this information here in case anyone else is looking to do this:

Solution:

1. modify your package.json to use the example provided here
2. following the instructions here so you can ignore the Jest types

You can also use --require ts-node/register, though it is slower than just compiling then running tests.

Thanks, yes. The main reason I made this post is to share that you have to resort to some unique hacks to get the Jest types out of the way. I describe that more in detail in the second link I placed above.

Yea that's suboptimal experience. I've been looking to split up the commands for a while now (e.g. #407 is an initial step toward that) so that if you wanted to, instead of installing tsdx, you install @tsdx/rollup and @tsdx/eslint but not @tsdx/jest in this case. That would also open it up for a @tsdx/mocha for instance too.
