Add typeRoots to tsconfig.

[eduDorus]

We received errors with this tsconfig.json. In order to make it work as a subdirectory of our Angular app the typeRoots property was necessary.

"typeRoots": [
"node_modules/@types"
],

What version of TypeScript are you using? Are you sure you're using the locally-installed version and not a(n outdated) global install of TypeScript? node_modules/@types has been supported as a default value for a long time and what you listed is actually more restrictive than the default and could actually break some apps that are written fully in TypeScript.

See the tsconfig.json documentation for more info.

I'm having same issues with a typescript subdirectory inside another typescript repository.

Compilation seems to attempt to target ancestor directories unrelated to the functions source.

Adding

"typeRoots": [
"node_modules/@types"
],

fixes this. You can reproduce the error by embedding a cloud functions repo within a larger typescript app. Maybe there's a better way, but the default tsconfig.json is not adequate.

I guess types: ["node"] works too........ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
