Chai test fail with "Unexpected import token"

Hi guys,

I have a project which uses mocha chai unit tests. They work just fine when I run them on the command line (npm run unit).

I try to run them in IntelliJ (by right clicking on the test and selecting run), they fail with the below error.

I have the Node.js plugin installed and I can run tests for the other typescript project just fine. Any ideas?

import sinon from 'sinon';
^^^^^^
