Typescript module is not defined

Question

I'm working on upgrading to Angular2 RC1 and I've suddenly got the following errors on a pretty simple typescript server :

I have installed the typings I though were required and I'm building it using gulp: typings.json:

{
  "ambientDependencies": {
  "es6-collections": "registry:dt/es6-collections#0.5.1+20160316155526",
  "es6-promise": "registry:dt/es6-promise#0.0.0+20160423074304",
  "es6-shim": "registry:dt/es6-shim#0.31.2+20160317120654",
  "express": "registry:dt/express#4.0.0+20160317120654",
  "express-serve-static-core": "registry:dt/express-serve-static-core#0.0.0+20160322035842",
  "node": "registry:dt/node#4.0.0+20160505172921",
  "require": "registry:dt/require#2.1.20+20160316155526",
  "serve-static": "registry:dt/serve-static#0.0.0+20160501131543"
  }
}

gulp task for proxy building:

gulp.task('build:proxy', function () {
    var tsProject = ts.createProject('tsconfig.json');
    var tsResult = gulp.src(['proxy/**/*.ts','!proxy/typings/**/*.*'])
        .pipe(sourcemaps.init())
        .pipe(ts(tsProject))
    return tsResult.js
        .pipe(concat('proxy.js'))
        .pipe(sourcemaps.write())
        .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
});

and tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "proxy/typings/main",
    "proxy/typings/main.d.ts"
  ],
  "buildOnSave": false,
  "disableCompileOnSave": true,
  "compileOnSave" : false
}

Since everything seems to look like before I've kept my imports the same, for example import express = require('express'). I can't seem to figure out what I have to do to get those modules in.

does your source ts files reside inside proxy\<another folder>\ts files? — Madhu Ranjan

@MadhuRanjan Only have one ts file called proxy.ts inside the proxy folder. I've also tried moving everything to the root folder but same problems. — taigi100

Put a new main.d.ts inside proxy folder with below content

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

Tried it, with that I'm getting duplicate identifier ( also tried excluding the main.d.ts in typings from tsconfig and still getting the duplicate error).

I answered on the GitHub issue (https://github.com/typings/typings/issues/491). In summary, you need to correct the gulp.src() call to not ignore all typings and only ignore either main or browser typings. E.g. gulp.src(['proxy/**/*.ts', '!proxy/typings/main/**', '!proxy/typings/main.d.ts'].

I have question about an npm package that you published. Are you willing to help resolve it? Here is the link: stackoverflow.com/questions/38162115/…
