Compile errors with 2.0.2 (worked with 2.0.0)

[jmc265]

TypeScript Version: 2.0.0 --> 2.0.2

Expected behavior: Code compiles!

Actual behavior: Code compiles when using 2.0.0. Code does not compile when using 2.0.2.

When specifying "typescript": "2.0.0" in my package.json, all my projects compile absolutely fine (as they have been doing for some time).
However, when I upgrade (i.e. use either "typescript": "^2.0.0" or "typescript": "2.0.2") I get a lot of compile errors of the form:

Not sure what else I can provide to help debug this, let me know and I'll get it.

Thanks.

I haven't had time to research the errors in my own typescript project, but I'm getting largely the same ones as you. Just wanted to throw it out there that I'm seeing very similar results.

[RyanCavanaugh]

It really looks like you're compiling with some other tool; TypeScript does not produce errors that look like that. With it being unable to find lib.d.ts, it sounds like a problem with that tool not knowing how to resolve lib references correctly. What are you using to build with?

[jmc265]

I am using webpack. Most of the projects I am building use webpack via angular-cli. But one project uses webpack directly and it is still getting the errors above when using 2.0.2.

Edit: I should probably note that I think angular-cli is using "awesome-typescript-loader" for webpack. And that is what my standalone project is using as well.

[kjackson87]

I am also using webpack.

[RyanCavanaugh]

Can you post a config file or something to help me bootstrap a repro? Odds are this is an issue with a webpack plugin but we'll need to track down the owner and let them know what to fix

[jmc265]

Sure, here is my webpack.config.dev.js:

var webpack = require('webpack');
var CopyWebpackPlugin = require('copy-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
    entry: './src/main.ts',
    output: {
        path: './build',
        publicPath: '/build/',
        filename: 'bundle.js'
    },
    devtool: 'source-map',
    resolve: {
        extensions: ['', '.webpack.js', '.web.js', '.ts', '.js']
    },
    module: {
        loaders: [
            {   
                test: /\.ts$/,
                loader: 'awesome-typescript-loader'
            },
            { 
                test: /\.json$/, 
                loader: 'json-loader'
            },
            {
                test: /\.html$/,
                loader: 'html-loader'
            }
        ]
    }
}

My package.json looks like:

{
  "name": "...",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "./bin/build.sh dev && webpack-dev-server --inline --hot --quiet --port 8007 --config config/webpack.config.dev.js --content-base build",
    "build": "./bin/build.sh prod"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/q": "0.0.28",
    "@types/requirejs": "^2.1.26",
    "awesome-typescript-loader": "^2.1.1",
    "copy-webpack-plugin": "^3.0.1",
    "html-loader": "^0.4.3",
    "json-loader": "^0.5.4",
    "require": "^2.4.20",
    "requirejs": "^2.2.0",
    "typescript": "2.0.0",
    "webpack": "2.1.0-beta.18",
    "webpack-dev-server": "2.1.0-beta.0"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "@types/axios": "^0.9.29",
    "axios": "^0.13.1",
    "q": "^1.4.1"
  }
}

Note: this has the very specific Typescript version of 2.0.0, so the above should work. If it was changed to 2.0.2, the compile errors will then happen.

I run the webpack through npm start or through this:
node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config config/webpack.config.dev.js

[mhegazy]

@s-panferov any ideas what is going on here?

[don-bluelinegrid]

@RyanCavanaugh @s-panferov @mhegazy

I also have this exact problem.

I am running a webpack build for a project based on the Aurelia framework. A build that previously worked fine with no errors using typescript@v2.0.0 immediately started to fail with the same sort of errors, when I updated to typescript@v2.0.2. I am attaching my webpack config, typescript config, and package.json.

This is definitely related to a change between v2.0.0 and v2.0.2. In my package.json I am specifying typescript v2.0.0, to have a working build, changing this to ^2.0.0, which will install v2.0.2, cause the build to fail.

[mhegazy]

Would you be able to share the project?

[don-bluelinegrid]

@mhegazy

I provided the package.json, tsconfig, and webpack.config.
Are you saying that you would like access to my commercial GitHub repo?
