Definitelytyped: @types/karma broken with removal of log4js typings

20518 had removed the log4js typings from DT, as they are now on the log4js repo; however, Karma's typings are now broken as log4js does not export AppenderConfigBase:

Namespace '"/path/to/project/node_modules/log4js/index"' has no exported member 'AppenderConfigBase'

I'm facing this issue too.

Is there a workaround till this is fixed?
I'm running unit tests on TravisCI.
I tried "@types/karma": "1.7.0", to have it installed the exact version I have locally (which doesn't break). The tests run fine locally. But they break on TravisCI

Not a fix, but as a workaround, you can manually add

export interface AppenderConfigBase {
  type: string;
  category?: string;
  layout?: { type: string;[key: string]: any }
}

to node_modules/log4js/index.d.ts to get going and continue work for now

We fixed our build by including the previous version of log4js ahead of karma:
"devDependencies": { ... "@types/log4js": "0.0.33", "@types/bowser": "1.0.30", "@types/jasmine": "2.5.51", "@types/karma": "0.13.35", "@types/lodash": "4.14.65" }

~I think the Karma typings still need published before this should be closed?~

Published as 1.7.1, thanks! 🎉

Facing the same issue with 1.7.1

@vatsalpande The newest @types/karma doesn't import anything from log4js so you probably had an error while trying to update it -- double-check the actual version in node_modules/@types/karma/package.json.

Looks like a miss from my side. Its working fine now. Thanks for your input.

as @cschear said, for me I only had to add the following one: "devDependencies": { ... "@types/log4js": "0.0.33", ...}
