After updating Bootstrap, the build task encountered an error when it was unable to locate the node.exe needed to run the TypeScript compiler

After developing an ASP.Net MVC web application that was almost completed, I decided to update Bootstrap using the NuGet package manager to the latest stable version 4.3.1. The update process went smoothly, but unfortunately, I encountered errors after migrating.

Error Build:Cannot find name 'Record'.
Error Build:Cannot find name 'undefined'.

To resolve these issues, I installed 

TypeScript for Visual Studio 2015
. This fixed the previous errors, but in turn, I faced a new problem:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error The build task could not find node.exe which is required to run the TypeScript compiler. Please install Node and ensure that the system path contains its location. ABH.SW.HotelManagement

I have been trying to find a solution for the past two days by searching online, but so far, I have not been able to find a resolution. Can you help me with this issue?

Answer №1

If you're using Bootstrap 4.3.1, TypeScript, and VS2015, here's some helpful advice for setting up your project.

When installing Bootstrap 4.3.1 through NuGet, make sure not to let Visual Studio manage TypeScript Typings for you. Say no to that option.

After installing Bootstrap, clean the solution by right-clicking on your solution and selecting "clean solution."

Then, in the NuGet console (Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console), install TypeScript 3.0 with this command:

Install-Package Microsoft.TypeScript.MSBuild -Version 3.0.0

Close and reopen Visual Studio. It may take some trial and error to discover that TypeScript version 3.0 works best without conflicts.

Answer №3

It seems that I have encountered some compatibility issues between Bootstrap 4.3.1, Typescript, and VS2015 in my project.

During my project, I came across the following error:

Error: The build task could not find node.exe, which is required to run the TypeScript compiler. Please install Node and ensure that its location is added to the system path.

While I am using VS2017, a team member facing problems is using VS2015 with TypeScript Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 version 3.2.2.0 installed.

After mapping the project from source control, he received an alert message indicating that his TypeScript version was newer. After conducting some research, I suggest looking into this link for more information: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/17136

  2. Uninstall Typescript
  3. Install Typescript version 3.0 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48593
