Cannot find types for node error when running `npm run watch:build`
-
I'm submitting a ... [x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] question about the decisions made in the repository [ ] question about how to use this project
-
Summary I ran into this issue when creating a new NodeJS project using typescript-starter. I chose yarn as my package manager (I don't know if this had any influence in causing the error) and when I tried to run
yarn run watch:build
I got a compile error saying that the type for node could not be found. I tried to usenpm run watch:build
as well, and that too failed. -
Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stack traces, related issues, suggestions how to fix, links for us to have context, eg. StackOverflow, personal fork, etc.) I was able to find a solution at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43542710/buildcannot-find-type-definition-file-for-node. It required running
npm install @types/node --save-dev
I hope this is of use to future devs who run into this issue.
I had the same issue. Thanks for sharing the solution. 👍
Got this today too, some more information in case it helps:
node -v
v14.16.0
yarn -v
1.22.10
Fixed with yarn add -D @types/node
.
