Unit testing using Jasmine and TypeScript

Question

I am trying to get a unit test written in Typescript using Jasmine to compile. With the following in my unit-test file, Resharper prompts me with a link to import types from jas

Answer 1

If you have issues with imports, use tsconfig-paths

npm i ts-node tsconfig-paths types/jasmine jasmine --save-dev

Run typescript-enabled jasmine:

ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register node_modules/jasmine/bin/jasmine.js

Ensure that your jasmine will search .ts files:

"spec_files": [
    "**/*[sS]pec.ts"
],
"helpers": [
    "helpers/**/*.ts"
],

To test your scripts you may also need polyfills if you use them in your project. Create a helper file with required imports, like helpers/global/polifill.ts

import 'core-js';
