@babel/register is not working

[bbellovic]

I am trying to use mocha + docker container, however, it seems like @babel/register is not working original command:

BABEL_DISABLE_CACHE=1 mocha --require @babel/register --reporter spec --timeout 90000 --full-trace 'app/api/sql/graphql/schema.internal.tests/*.test.js' 'app/api/sql/models/classes/*.test.js'

I have following vscode settings.json:

    "mochaExplorer.launcherScript": "docker-launcher.js",
    "mochaExplorer.mochaPath": "node_modules/mocha",
    "mochaExplorer.debuggerConfig": "Debug in Docker",
    "mochaExplorer.require": "@babel/register",
    "mochaExplorer.nodePath": "node",
    "mochaExplorer.env": {
       "BABEL_DISABLE_CACHE": "1"
    },
    "mochaExplorer.logpanel": true,
    "mochaExplorer.files": "app/api/sql/**/*.test.js",
    "mochaExplorer.optsFile": "mocha.opts",

and following mocha.opts:

--require @babel/register
--reporter spec
--timeout 90000 
--full-trace

but when I try to load tests in ui I keep receiving following error:

import chai from 'chai';

This error indicates that @babel/register was not used

Hey @bBellovic, did you resolve this one. Having the same issue requiring @babel/register?
