TypeScript flavours giving error on npm start about create-cycle-app

[ajmchambers]

Not sure why, but adding: "typeRoots" : ["./node_modules/@types"] into the tsconfig.json's "compilerOptions" makes it work.

Some more testing:
The webpack flavour is working fine actually (could have sworn it didn't work for me but its working with a fresh attempt - I may have picked the wrong option or something).

So it may be an issue with the browserify tsify package, this issue seems relevant:
TypeStrong/tsify#208

@ajmchambers could you confirm which typescript version are you using?

I'm suspicious that this is related to dependencies versions.

Indeed, an npm ls --depth=0 could here from here.

I still think it's a bug with tsify.

I've been running through the debugger in vscode comparing the browserify version against the webpack version and have noticed some differences.

The browserify version in the left has:
fileName:"node_modules/@cycle/dom/lib/isolateModule.d.ts"

And the webpack version on the right (which is working) has:
fileName:"c:/Development/test-typescript-webpack/node_modules/@cycle/dom/lib/isolateModule.d.ts"

Anyway thats what I've figured out so far, gonna keep poking about to see where the fileName is actually being set.

(just some more notes)

Comparing rootFiles in mac (left) against windows (right):

For some reason the windows side is missing the 3 @types for core-js, mocha, and node.

This has been fixed for me with tsify 2.0.3, closing this issue.

Good to hear, @ajmchambers! Please, report any other issues you found in the future.

Cheers, will do. (and btw thanks for making this tool, love it)
