TypeScript Version: 2.4.1

Code

https://github.com/Mercateo/ws/tree/v2

Diff yarn.lock:

typescript@^2.3.4:
-  version "2.4.0"

$ yarn
$ npm run build

Expected behavior:

Compile.

Actual behavior:

ERROR in /Users/foo/Workspace/mercateo-ws/tsconfig.json
error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.

We are having the same problem, but it only seems to surface when running mocha with --require ts-node/register. Rolling back to 2.3.4 and will watch this issue.

Same issue here with ts-node/register. Fails to find all imported Types (@types) modules. I have reverted back to 2.3.4.

Ditto

I've been debugging for the past 2.5 hours. Thank you for this issue. I was going insane.

Having the same issue, but for several other type definition files including angular, angular-material, and more. Had to revert back to 2.3.4.

I think this is also an issue with ts-loader. 'tsc -p .' works fine but as of this upgrade, webpack with ts-loader involved fails like this:

(which is kinda weird because it looks like it built everything successfully before it errors out with this??)

Rolling back to 2.3.4 and the problem is gone.

similar issue: teppeis/typescript-simple#82

Having similar issues with type definitions. (node, jquery...)

enforced typescript version 2.4.0 using npm-shrinkwrap as a workaround

Same problem here.

I had similar problems with ts-node, but tsc -p was fine. Upgrading to v3.1.0 fixed the problem.

stephen (@stephen) Wow, that's true. Seems that typescript not supports imports like @types/... anymore. Thank you!

Fix for TS 2.4 Module Resolution Changes

Reverted typescript from version 2.4.1 to 2.2.2 in package.json:
"typescript": "2.2.2",
and works fine now

fix ts-node types error (microsoft/TypeScript#16772 (comment))

For what it's worth, upgrading ts-node to the latest version seems to fix this issue for me.

For TypeScript 2.4.2 if you already have some custom "typeRoots": [ ... ] defined into your tsconfig.json and in your package.json you also are including "@types/node" and you work with the standard node functions like require, you will receive the error: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.

You need to add ./node_modules/@types/ to your typeRoots array! see docs

Backstory: I had this problem because I use WebStorm IDE which uses tsc to compile the project, and webpack to compile it separately. Suddenly after removing some 3rd party node packages that I had I started having the above error. Now it's all good again.

Serban Ghita (@serbanghita)

Serban Ghita (@serbanghita) you are the MVP here. Just note that the ./node_modules/@types/is relative to the directory where the tsconfig.json file is

I have a TypeScript app which imports another TypeScript app and I am receiving error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'. from my imported module:

ode_modules/wire-webapp-cryptobox/dist/typings/wire-webapp-cryptobox.d.ts(18,23): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.

I checked wire-webapp-cryptobox.d.ts(18,23) and it's this statement:
/// <reference types="node" />

The config of "wire-webapp-cryptobox.d.ts" looks as follows:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "declaration": false,
    "lib": ["es7", "dom"],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "sourceMap": false,
    "target": "es5"
  },
  "exclude": [
    "bower_components",
    "node_modules",
    "typings/browser",
    "typings/browser.d.ts"
  ]
}

Can you tell me where I need to set typeRoots to fix the error?

Upgrade ts-loader to fix remaining @types issues :(( microsoft/TypeSc…

I got this error with javascript triple slash reference too

I try to reference the global node module. Is it not possible?
