angular-cli v1.1.0
macOS Sierra
node 6.10.0

Repro steps.

I just updated angular-cli (v1.1) and created a new project using ng new.
Then I added and installed two dependencies to the project.json file:

    "dependencies": {
        ...
        "toastr": "2.1.2",
        "spin": "0.0.1"
      },
      "devDependencies": {
        ...
        "@types/toastr": "2.1.32",
        "@types/spin": "2.3.30",
        ...
        "typescript": "~2.3.3"
      }

and to angular-cli.json:

"scripts": [
        "../node_modules/toastr/build/toastr.min.js",
                "../node_modules/spin/dist/spin.min.js"
      ],

Then I updated the autogenerated app.component.ts adding this constructor:

    constructor() {
        toastr.success('Hi')
    }

The IDE (visual studio code) recognize correctly the types but when I serve the application using ng serve I get the following error.

(I have a couple of project started 2 or 3 months ago and everything works fine)

The log given by the failure.

ERROR in ../A/src/app/app.component.ts (15,5): C
annot find name 'toastr'.

Any types actually used by the application need to be added to tsconfig.app.json within the types field array.

[MasDevProject]

Adding this entry:

 "types": [
      "../node_modules/@types/toastr"
    ]

does not solve the problem

[clydin]

try:

 "types": [
      "toastr"
    ]

[MasDevProject]

Unfortunately the problem persists event with that config

[MasDevProject]

It seems that removing the "types":[] from tsconfig.app.json the problem disappears

[filipesilva]

This is a typings issue, if removing "types":[] works then adding the correct one should work as well. Make sure you're adding it to the correct tsconfig though.
