TypeScript: Cannot find type definition file for 'node' and 'long'

[k8w]

Get error even use tsd install node long when compile.

node_modules/protobufjs/types/protobuf.js.d.ts(1,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'node'.
node_modules/protobufjs/types/protobuf.js.d.ts(2,1): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'long'.

Works well if remove this from protobuf.js.d.ts

/// <reference types="node" />
/// <reference types="long" />

And tsd install node long.

Or remove node_modules/protobufjs/types, and tsd install protobufjs node

Seems that the ideal way depends on the environment. Are you aware of any documented standard on how referencing definition dependencies is supposed to be done - so it works with both DefinitelyTyped and vscode integrations?

Are you sure that this installs v6 types? Afaik the DefinitelyTyped repository only has a definition for v5.

Easy solution.

In a post-build step, delete the two /// <reference types lines. This doesn't actually cause any problems anywhere.

We do similar in other projects with es6-promise references.

The /// reference lines aren't generated anymore, which should fix the problem.
