npm start "Cannot find name 'Promise'"

[Pimentelk]

Whenever I try to run npm start on any branch that isn't the master branch I get the following errors.

I run npm install before making an attempt to start.

$npm start

Same issue for me but only happens on individual branches and not master branch. Any idea??

[StPaulStylee]

Me too. Frustrated. Any answers out there?

[danieldogeanu]

From my understanding, the typings are not installed, or for some reason, are not working.

[martingenchev]

check the previous issue and you have the solution for the problem :) https://github.com/planetoftheweb/learnangular/issues/13

[x3lq]

Here the answer from closed section which should be the same martingenchev means ;)

Opening tsconfig.json and changing: "target": "es5" to "target": "es6"

[ConnieHirsch]

Thanks, I ran into the same problem.

Thank you! I was pulling my hair out over this!
