Description

The code generated has
import localVarRequest = require('request');
import http = require('http');
import Promise = require('bluebird');

This type of syntax runs into the error. Does a certain source/target setting on TS get around this problem?

''' error TS1202: Import assignment cannot be used when targeting ECMAScript modules. Consider using 'import * as ns from "mod"', 'import {a} from "mod"', 'import d from "mod"', or another module format instead.
'''

Research direction

No template or test file is named. Start by locating the TypeScript generation templates that emit the reported import assignments, then reproduce TS1202 with the generated output and its compiler settings. Done means the generated TypeScript avoids the reported error under the intended module target.
