replace "repo": "borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped", to "repo": "DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped", first.

Hi,
I did the same but the error is the same.
And one more point to add is that i am building my application in Visual Studio code , and the
"repo": "borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped" is create by VS code itself.
Please help.

Still no answer for me ! Please help.

I had a similar problem, due to my typescript installation being out of date.
Can you check what tsc version you have installed?

Running tsc --version in a terminal window should show you the version

I have the same thing, it has to be user error somehow but I'm not sure what.

My tsc version is
Version 1.0.3.0
still getting the same error

now i find one work around,

my app.ts file code is

///
module AngularJsDemo.Scripts{
var app = angular.module('app',[]);
app.filter('LimitToChar',function () {
return function (InputValue:string,MaxCharCount:number) {
return (InputValue.length>MaxCharCount)?InputValue.substring(0,MaxCharCount):InputValue;
}
});

app.controller('TestController',function () {
    var InputValue:string;
});

}

when i tries to generate the .js file it give me errors and all the errors are from the main.d.ts file that i reference in the 1st line. Now if i remove that reference the app.ts file of mine compile to generate the app.js file with one warning that angular is not define.
At least i got my js file.

@cdebdeep Your tsc version is outdated, thus causing the compile errors.
Simply remove the current typescript version and reinstall it with
npm install typescript -g

Following this, tsc -version should ouptut something like Version 1.8.10 and your code will compile

Let me know if this solves your problem

I fixed the issue. I had to update my settings.json in vscode to point to the latest version of typescript. Just because I had the latest typescript installed didn't mean it was being used by default.

I had the same issue, and installing the latest typescript as a separate npm package, and then configuring grunt-ts to use the custom tsc version fixed it for me.

Uninstall the current version of Typescript with:
npm uninstall typescript --save
Then reinstall i with:
npm install typescript --save-dev
