tsc 报告错误 TS2318：找不到全局类型 'Boolean'

Question

I'm a newbie to node and typescript, I'm getting trouble when compile my typescript project. I've read serval posts on SO, but still cannot resolve my problem.

Could anyone help me with this?

tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true,
    "noLib": false
  },
  "files": [
    "typings/index.d.ts"
  ]
}

typings/index.d.ts:

/// <reference path="globals/angular-protractor/index.d.ts" />
/// <reference path="globals/core-js/index.d.ts" />
/// <reference path="globals/jasmine/index.d.ts" />
/// <reference path="globals/koa/index.d.ts" />

/// <reference path="globals/selenium-webdriver/index.d.ts" />
/// <reference path="globals/sequelize/index.d.ts" />
/// <reference path="globals/typescript/index.d.ts" />

I've tried set "noLib" option in tsconfig.json as true. And it will lead to another error :

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'Boolean'.

error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'TemplateStringsArray'.

I understand why error TS2300 is reported when noLib is set to false. But DO NOT know why error TS2318 is reported when noLib is set to true.

Answer 1

It might be that you are missing es2015 in your tsconfig.json. Edit as follows:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        ...
        "lib": ["es2015"]
        ...
    }
}

Answer 2

I had this error when doing typescript on nodejs. To fix, I had to install type dependencies for nodejs:

npm i @types/node
