Expected

Successfully run mocha tests for my typescript project

Actual

W.r.t https://github.com/mochajs/mocha-examples/tree/main/packages/typescript I tried env TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS='{\"module\": \"commonjs\" }' and hit the following error:

$ n run ts_test

> [email protected] ts_test
> export NODE_ENV=development && env TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS='{"module": "commonjs" }' ./node_modules/.bin/nyc --timeout 10000 --recursive --check-leaks --reporter=lcov --reporter=text --reporter=text-summary --reporter=html ./node_modules/.bin/mocha -r ts-node/register tests/**/*.ts --reporter mocha-junit-reporter --reporter-options mochaFile=test_reports/mocha/test-results.xml --exit
