using chutzpah and jasmine with typscript and systemjs

I am having trouble getting an import working in a jasmine unit test that is written in typescript. Chutzpah is throwing an error on the import statement - which in js gets translated to a define

import {fakeclass} from '../src/data-analysis/fakeclass';

The error I see is:

Error: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: define

Otherwise the test gets discovered and runs fine.

I assume it has to with systemjs not being loaded by chutzpah - is there a recommended way to set this up?

here is my chutzpah.json file
