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 spent way to much time on this issue tried almost everything like adding to typeRoots my typings folder, creating typing folder with structure typings/module/index.d.ts but nothing worked out so now I've figured it out now what the above answer meant

With a new version of ts-node I've changed for my project's scripts:

ts-node@6: ts-node src/index.ts
ts-node@7: ts-node --files src/index

So your script will be changed to something like below

"scripts": {
    "dev": "nodemon --exec ts-node --files src/index",
  }

With the above in action your compile time increase a lot but I couldn't spend more time on this so I'm sticking to the above.
