Typescript root level hooks

[guillenotfound]

Could you provide an example of root level hooks like described here for typescript? When I create a hooks.js or hooks.ts it doesn't get called.

I'm having the same issue, where no matter what I try, the root level hooks are not getting called in .ts files.
Have you managed to find a solution?

same here

Jic you are still looking for the solution, We ended up adding it to the nodejs namespace and referencing it using the triple slash directive

Can you give us the definition file you created? @dayafigueroa

I found a solution from the documentation here

You just need to pass as an argument --require to the mocha command with the file containing the hooks.

Example: mocha -r ts-node/register --require './src/test/hooks.ts' './src/**/*.test.ts'
