After creating an Angular2 component, I wanted to share the code with my colleagues. Therefore, I uploaded the code to Github, cloned the repository, ran npm install, and then npm run tsc. However, I encountered the following errors:
error TS2318: Cannot find global type 'Promise'.
...
This is a rundown of my npm setup:
"dependencies": {
"@angular/common": "~2.4.0",
...
},
"devDependencies": {
"jasmine": "^2.5.3",
...
}
As for my tsc-compiler configuration:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
...
}, "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}
Despite trying various solutions like deleting node_modules/, typings/, and adjusting dependencies, I only received more error messages. Can anyone offer assistance? My end goal is for others to clone my repository, execute npm install and npm run tsc, and seamlessly begin development.
Update1: Changing the target from es5 to es6 resolved the promise-related errors, but jasmine errors persist:
src/other.service.spec.ts(122,3): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'expect'.
...
Update2:
By aligning the dependencies with the angular-quickstart (https://github.com/angular/quickstart/blob/master/package.json), the issues were resolved. Thank you for the guidance!
