Typescript project cannot find module after vscode update

VS code was harassing me every time I start it up to update so this morning I did and now many ts files cannot find modules anymore.

Many files have statements like:

 import Mustache = require("mustache");

These files do not have a statement like:

 ///<reference path="./typings/mustache.d.ts" />

But since another file in the project has that statement it used to be no problem. Somehow; once I referenced "mustache" somewhere I didn't need to repeat the process in other files and could directly require it.

I updated to:

Version 1.6.0
shell 1.3.7
node 6.5.0

If anyone could help out on how to solve this problem I would greatly appreciate it.

task.json:

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "tsc.cmd",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "showOutput": "silent",
    "problemMatcher": "$tsc"
}

node tsc:

C:\Users\me>tsc.cmd
Version 1.8.10

tsc.exe:

C:\Users\me>tsc.exe
Version 1.8.2

In the root of the source directory I added a index.d.ts with the following content:

///<reference path="./typings/mustache.d.ts" />
///<reference path="./typings/jquery.2.1.3.d.ts" />
///<reference path="./typings/settings.typing.ts" />

But files can still not find mustache unless I add the type definition in the file it self.

Uninstalled vs code and installed it again but same problem (same version)

[UPDATE]

Downloaded 1.5.3 and all the problems went away

Solution

At the base of your source files (i.e., src/ ) make an index.d.ts file with all the ///'s

This continues to work for me even on:

Version 1.6.0 Commit e52fb0b... Renderer 52.0 Node 6.5.0

You could try installing the second latest version and see if the problems you are having with the latest version still persist.
