We are having the same problem, but it only seems to surface when running mocha with --require ts-node/register. Rolling back to 2.3.4 and will watch this issue.

Same issue here with ts-node/register. Fails to find all imported @types modules. I have reverted back to 2.3.4.

Ditto

I've been debugging for the past 2.5 hours. Thank you for this issue. I was going insane.

[RobARichardson]

Having the same issue, but for several other type definition files including angular, angular-material, and more. Had to revert back to 2.3.4.

I think this is also an issue with ts-loader. 'tsc -p .' works fine but as of this upgrade, webpack with ts-loader involved fails like this:

ERROR in C:\Users\Jason\Repos\...\tsconfig.json

(which is kinda weird because it looks like it built everything successfully before it errors out with this??)

Rolling back to 2.3.4 and the problem is gone.

Same problem here.

I had similar problems with ts-node, but tsc -p was fine. Upgrading to v3.1.0 fixed the problem.
