ts-node ignores d.ts files while tsc successfully compiles the project

Question

Having compiled my TypeScript project successfully, I intended to run it in VS Code\'s debug mode using ts-node. Problem is, ts-node can\'t find

Answer 1

I was having a similar problem, but I could not add --files, because I run ts-node by registering the module through mocha (i.e. mocha -r ts-node/register ...).

I could solve it by adding a files and a ts-node section to tsconfig.json like this:

// tsconfig.json
{
  "ts-node": {
    "files": true
  },
  "files": [
    "src/index.ts",
    "src/global.d.ts"
  ],
  "compilerOptions":{
    //...
  }
}

I hope somebody will find this useful.
