Chai import in Typescript

Question

I am trying to use chai in typescript.

The jai jai example shows this as:

var should = require('chai').should();

I downloaded the type definition:

tsd install chai

... refers to a file, tried to import

/// <reference path='../typings/chai/chai.d.ts' />
import should = require('chai').should();

I get:

error TS1005: ';' expected

... any idea how to do this?

tests to type chai do the following:

import chai = require('chai');
var should = chai.should();

Does this work for you?
