'Parameter 'obj' implicitly has an 'any' type when using mocha do do unit test

I define a test class in typescript named DeviceHandler.test.ts like this:

import 'mocha'
import { expect } from 'chai'
import DeviceHandler from '@utils/data/DeviceHandler'

describe('Device Test', function () {
    it('Get device fingerprints', async function () {
       let fingerprints:string = await DeviceHandler.getDeviceId();
       expect(fingerprints).to.be.a("d");
    })
})

what I want to do is try to test the get fringer prints function works or not. this is the DeviceHandler.ts looks like:

const DeviceHandler = {
    getDeviceId: async() : Promise<string> => {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            resolve("xxxx");
        });
    },
}

export default DeviceHandler;

but when I run this test like this:

"test": "mocha --recursive --require babel-register test/**/** test/utils/data/** --bail",

shows error:
