Ts-node-dev: 1.0.0-pre.50 -> 1.0.0-pre.51 d.ts file are ignored

tsconfig:

global.d.ts

declare module NodeJS {
  interface Process {
    pkg: undefined | boolean;
  }
}

Error after upgrading to [email protected]:

[ERROR] 12:38:30 ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:

When installing the previous version everything works as expected (npm install -D -E [email protected])

There actually was a bug in ts-node-dev which made it work slower because --files was true by default.

Read the docs of ts-node.
https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node#help-my-types-are-missing

global.d.ts should be in typeRoots for ts-node (ts-node-dev) to see it without --files

@whitecolor Thanks for the information!

I solved it the following way: https://github.com/dungeon-revealer/dungeon-revealer/pull/577

More context can be found here: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html

A types package is a folder with a file called index.d.ts or a folder with a package.json that has a types field.

This broke our build as well. In our case, since we had a module definition, we had to use

"compilerOptions": {
  "baseUrl": ".",
  "paths": {
    "{module-name}": [
      "src/types/{filename}.d.ts"
    ]
  }
}

Maybe it can be pointed out somewhere in the readme? I'd say it belongs to release notes but I cannot find any...
