Hi,

Use --skipLibCheck option.

Your config (above) should be in root of your project. If it is, may be in your code is explicit import from node_modules:

import { Some } from './node_modules/some';

[xtianus79]

@KostyaTretyak if that was the case it would only give checks for the module i was importing... this is importing all of angular for example

[KostyaTretyak]

@xtianus79, your configuration is at the root of the project and you run tsc from this root?

And one more: in your destination directory for compiler may remaining artifacts from before you exclude node_modules. So, just in case, remove it.
