[X ] I tried using the @types/d3-format package and had problems.
[X ] I tried using the latest stable version of tsc.

Before TS upgrade: (no errors)

typescript 2.8.4
d3-format": "1.3.2"

After TS upgrade:

"typescript": "3.1.1"

Error message:

node_modules/@types/d3-shape/index.d.ts
(2273,19): Cannot find name 'CanvasPathMethods'.

I have the same issue after upgrading to angular 7 with typescript 3.1.1.
I think the problem is with @types/d3-shapes. Is there a fix to this?

From what I can tell, the @types/d3-format package doesn't depend on @types/d3-shape, so it's likely that some other dependency (either in your package.json or pulled as a dependency of something else) is causing this problem for you.

That having been said, you're in luck! It looks like this issue was corrected in version 1.2.4 of @types/d3-shape - see this PR and the published index.d.ts on unpkg. Once you've updated that, you should be on your merry way.

You're right about other dependency pulling in @types/d3-shapes. No longer an issue for me. Thanks!

Problem come from TypeScript 3.1. They renamed CanvasPathMethods to CanvasPath. Use CanvasPath under TypeScript 3.1. If you need to support also older TypeScript versions, use d3. CanvasPath_D3Shape. See d3-shape/index.d.ts.

I'm not referencing the types directly but instead am using a library that depends on them: d3-ng2-service.
So I'm not entirely sure how to fix this, any help would be appreciated...

The package d3-ng2-service may need an update for TypeScript 3.1. Though I don't think it should: package.json.

Make sure your packages are all up to date by removing node_modules and run npm install.

@denisname thank you for that hint. I too had d3-ng2-service depend on @types/d3-shape but because of yarn.lock file didn't update to a later version (1.2.7) which has the fix. all good now.
