Errors in the TypeScript Mocha unit test template file

In both VS 2015 and VS 2013, adding a TypeScript Mocha unit test file will introduce errors to the project.

As a workaround, installing typings for mocha, for example by using tsd:

tsd install mocha --save

Ensure the type definitions are referenced in the main file:

/// <reference path="typings/tsd.d.ts" />

The behaviour out of the box should not cause errors though.

Updated workaround using typings:

1. Install typings
2. In project directory, from the command prompt run $ typings install dt~mocha --global to get the mocha typings that tell Typescript about describe and it
3. In the unit test file, add /// <reference path="typings/globals/mocha/index.d.ts" /> to the top of the file

Not sure we can do this through the wizard, but you should just install the typings.
