Description

  • I tried using the @types/requirejs package and had problems.
    Error from console:
node_modules/@types/requirejs/index.d.ts
(416,13): error TS2403: Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type.  Variable 'require' must be of type 'NodeRequire', but here has type 'Require'.

typescript error -

in @types/requirejs/index.d.ts
ln416 declare var require: Require;

And in @types/node/index.d.ts
ln73 declare var require: NodeRequire;

Thanks

Michelle

  • I tried using the latest stable version of tsc. https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript
    "typescript": "2.2.1",
  • I have a question that is inappropriate for StackOverflow. (Please ask any appropriate questions there).
  • Mention the authors (see Definitions by: in index.d.ts) so they can respond.

Research direction

Start by comparing the require declarations in node_modules/@types/requirejs/index.d.ts at line 416 and node_modules/@types/node/index.d.ts at line 73, using the reported TypeScript 2.2.1 error as the reproduction. The work is done when consuming both definitions no longer produces TS2403 for require; no test file is mentioned in the issue.
