I know i'm probably late but i was faceing the same issue. Finally I got a work around if you want to try. In your tsconfig.json add "node_modules/@types/node" in "typeRoots" as you can see in the config bellow:

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "downlevelIteration": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "importHelpers": true,
    "target": "es2015",
    "typeRoots": [
      "node_modules/@types",
      "node_modules/@types/node"
    ],
    "lib": [
      "es2018",
      "dom"
    ]
  }
}

Why not import fs from fs?

Also try require and see what's up

I found the solution:

import { writeFileSync, readFileSync } from 'fs';

it works now
