When attempting to compile using tsc
(which is installed globally), I encountered an error:
~/AppData/Roaming/nvm/v11.15.0/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es2015.iterable.d.ts:41:6 - error TS2300: Duplicate identifier 'IteratorResult'.
41 type IteratorResult<T, TReturn = any> = IteratorYieldResult<T> | IteratorReturnResult<TReturn>;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
node_modules/@types/node/index.d.ts:170:11
170 interface IteratorResult<T> { }
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'IteratorResult' was also declared here.

Found 2 errors.
I currently have @types/node
version 10.1.0 installed. (@latest
presents its own set of issues…)

Uninstalling typescript
globally and using npx tsc
resolves the issue, although there shouldn't be any issue with installing and using typescript
globally. This defeats the purpose of global installations.
For now, I've implemented a workaround by creating an alias for tsc
(I'm using git bash in Windows).
alias tsc="path/to/project/node_modules/.bin/tsc.cmd"
