expect not resolving in mocha even after mocha definitely type library added

Why isn't expect resolving here? 

I import expect into my tests using a test helper I created:

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import chai from 'chai'
import Enzyme from 'enzyme';
import Adapter from 'enzyme-adapter-react-16'
import chaiEnzyme from 'chai-enzyme'
import { shallow, mount } from 'enzyme'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
import { createStore } from 'redux';

Enzyme.configure({ adapter: new Adapter() })
chai.use(chaiEnzyme())

require('./jsdom')
const expect = require('chai').expect

export {
 expect
...rest of my exports
}

Then I import it into my test files like this:

import {React, expect, shallow, initStore} from '../../test.imports';

but for some reason even after that and after mocha definitely typed is enabled, still getting this:
