Based on the information found here (archived), I figured out that the transpilation of ts to js is not neccisary when using this plugin. By passing the require argument to mocha, one can directly pass it ts. It would look as follows in your gulpfile.js:
Obviously this also requires the ts-node npm package.
This saves a transpilation step, and how to use the VSCode debugger directly on the ts files is described in the mentioned article (also handy trick!). I hope this helps someone :-)
