Could not find a declaration file for module with module style declaration file

I have a root @types and src folder

// @types/index.d.ts
import type { Profile } from "passport-discord"

declare module "fastify" {
  // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-empty-interface
  interface PassportUser extends Profile {}
}

declare module "@elastic/ecs-pino-format"

// @TODO: remove when https://github.com/pinojs/pino-elasticsearch/issues/54 has been fixed
declare module "pino-elasticsearch"

In my tsconfig.json I tried to add "include": ["@types", "src"], but running my build command

"build": "rimraf dist && NODE_ENV=development npm run nexus:reflect && tsc",
"nexus:reflect": "SHOULD_EXIT_AFTER_GENERATE_ARTIFACTS=true ts-node --transpile-only src/schema.ts",

Results in

daniell@DESKTOP-EKQSHNG:~/GitHub/akira$ npm run build

> akira@1.0.0 build
> rimraf dist && NODE_ENV=development npm run nexus:reflect && tsc


> akira@1.0.0 nexus:reflect
> SHOULD_EXIT_AFTER_GENERATE_ARTIFACTS=true ts-node --transpile-only src/schema.ts

Solution

  • How about using ts-node with files option?

     - "nexus:reflect": "SHOULD_EXIT_AFTER_GENERATE_ARTIFACTS=true ts-node --transpile-only src/schema.ts",
 + "nexus:reflect": "SHOULD_EXIT_AFTER_GENERATE_ARTIFACTS=true ts-node --transpile-only --files src/schema.ts",

    The docs say ts-node does not load files, include and exclude from tsconfig.json on startup by default. https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node#help-my-types-are-missing
