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 runyarn 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 runningnpm install @types/node --save-dev
I hope this is of use to future devs who run into this issue.
