Mocha Tests unexpected error.

My tests were running well but not when I run yarn hardhat test, I get the error below.

Error

An unexpected error occurred:

I think it's a dependency issue. I have tried different versions of mocha but nothing works.

What could be the issue?

@kihiuFrank Check the spelling mistake TypeError: describe is not a function. Or leave your repository link so I can find.

@kihiuFrank remove this import const { describe } = require("mocha")
