error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'. #213

dirtyvader · 2016-10-03T12:24:07Z

Updated my project to angular 2.0.1
Updated typings to latest: npm run typings -- install dt~node --save --global
Updated angular2-modal to 2.0.0 (When I start the project, it was 2.0.0-beta13)

shlomiassaf · 2016-10-03T20:54:10Z

@dirtyvader angular2-modal doesn't require you to install typings.
I use @types

cksdnjs4113 · 2016-10-04T02:58:44Z

This error also appears in my project after reinstalling angula2-modal.
It was working fine before..

node_modules/angular2-modal/esm/models/errors.d.ts(1,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.
node_modules/angular2-modal/esm/providers/modal.d.ts(1,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.

lyorix · 2016-10-04T09:01:43Z

I was using the [email protected] with [email protected] without any issue (except #207).
I updated my project with [email protected] & [email protected] for AoT compilation support.
I have now the same issue dirtyvader mentioned:
node_modules/angular2-modal/esm/models/errors.d.ts(1,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.
node_modules/angular2-modal/esm/providers/modal.d.ts(1,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.

Any idea?
Thx

cksdnjs4113 · 2016-10-05T01:17:51Z

Just adding more info above, I have replaced previous installed angular2-modal in the node_module. It works fine, however, as soon as I reinstall the angular2-modal, the error above appears again. I'm using 2.0.0-beta13

shlomiassaf · 2016-10-05T04:06:12Z

Can you each write the import method you use?webpack? SystemJS? Etc...

cksdnjs4113 · 2016-10-05T04:08:14Z

I use systemjs

lukaskopenec · 2016-10-05T06:15:37Z

I am using webpack, but I am having the same issue. No problem with the same configuration in beta 13.

dirtyvader · 2016-10-05T07:34:07Z

SystemJS too. Settings not changed since it worked (angular 2.0.0 & angular2-modal beta 13)

tlorenzetti · 2016-10-05T07:54:25Z

Same here with Webpack. The same configuration worked with angular-2.0.0 and angular2-modal beta.13.

lyorix · 2016-10-05T08:38:45Z

The error appears during transpilation process (running tsc): "compilerOptions": {"target": "es5","module": "commonjs","moduleResolution": "node"

CaselIT · 2016-10-05T11:45:25Z

@shlomiassaf
The first line on both esm/models/errors.d.ts and esm/providers/modal.d.ts is /// <reference types="node" />.
Removing it removes the compilation problem.

kisdaniel · 2016-10-05T13:34:20Z

I have a same bug with"angular2-modal": "^2.0.0-beta.13",:

halfonf · 2016-10-05T13:55:30Z

To me, you all have to migrate to typescript 2.0 remove the typings and import the @typing libs, including the @typings/node lib in your package.json.

I had this issue and it solved it.

dirtyvader · 2016-10-05T14:18:56Z

@halfonf Can you explain more about that ? I'm new to typescript and typings

CaselIT · 2016-10-05T14:27:45Z

@halfonf you should not have to use the node typings in the front-end since you are not running on node but in the browser.

CaselIT · 2016-10-05T14:35:16Z

@kisdaniel you have "angular2-modal": "^2.0.0-beta.12" so it's likely that npm installed the v.2.0.0. Change it to "angular2-modal": "2.0.0-beta.13" and the problem should not be there anymore. Of course then you cannot use angular 2.0.1...

shlomiassaf · 2016-10-05T14:44:42Z

Hi guys
I'll issue a fix later today
Thanks

kisdaniel · 2016-10-06T07:09:35Z

trying to Migrate from Angular 2 to angular 4
Got these two errors now:
Build:Cannot Find type definition file for 'mocha'
Build:Cannot Find type definition file for 'node'

nebiljabari · 2017-05-18T14:50:08Z

@Hassan121Cs I don't use Mocha but I solved :

Build:Cannot Find type definition file for 'node'

By re-importing the specific @types/node package used by my project.
In my case : $ npm i -D @types/[email protected]

Then modifing the variable at line 85 in node_modules/@types/node/index.d.ts
from : declare var module: NodeModule; to : declare var module: {id: string};
(causing an error)

ghost · 2017-09-25T20:42:27Z

add types in your tsconfig file

{
"compileOnSave": true,
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "commonjs",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"sourceMap": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"lib": [ "es2016", "dom" ],
"noImplicitAny": false,
"suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
"types": [ <<<=============================================
"node"
]
}
}

sophiewjzhang · 2018-12-17T20:44:19Z

This worked perfectly. Thanks for the tip.
The change I made: in my tsconfig.json:
{
...
"compilerOptions": {
...
"types": ["node"]
...
},
...
}
