error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'bga-ts-template'.

Today I tried to restart some development work by going through the new TS Templates tutorial (https://github.com/NevinAF/bga-ts-templ ... s/index.md).

When I got to item 3 of step 2, running the init script, I encountered the following:

Code: Select all

...
Running build commands:
        Game States: 'gamestates.jsonc' => 'states.inc.php', '.action.php', [gamestates.d.ts]
        Game Statistics: stats.jsonc => stats.json
        Game Options: gameoptions.jsonc => gameoptions.json
        Game Preferences: gamepreferences.jsonc => gamepreferences.json
        Game Infos: gameinfos.jsonc => gameinfos.inc.php
        Typescript compiler: client/define.ts => knightsknaves.js
error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'bga-ts-template'.
  The file is in the program because:
    Entry point of type library 'bga-ts-template' specified in compilerOptions

  source/client/tsconfig.json:30:14
    30   "types": [ "bga-ts-template" ], // Includes all non-module types which are on HTML script tags.
                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    File is entry point of type library specified here.


Found 1 error.

Command failed: npx tsc -p source/client --outFile knightsknaves.js
Command failed: npx bga-build

Not sure if it is related, but a few other things were suspicious: I tried running the game following the directions in step 1 part 5, and the table didn't load (it was stuck on "Opening the game box.."). Also, there was no <gamename>.game.php file and the <gamename>.js file looked very different from what it used to (which might be expected, but could explain why the game wouldn't run?)

Any suggestions?

Hey! I'm sorry you are having issues. This was caused by a change made in V2.0.3 which has now been resolved. Run "npm run init" again to automatically update the npm package and fix the build issue.
https://github.com/NevinAF/bga-ts-template/issues/19

The BGA-TS-Template is managed independently by myself and is not an official project. I recently converted all all source code into very detailed types (V2.0.0), which introduced some instability that I am working on resolving with one of the BGA Admin, Thoun. There are a few outdated components (mostly auto generated stuff anyways) which are also in the works as enhancements.

If you have any concerns about building/outdated components, you can also just get the typescript types by downloading "https://github.com/NevinAF/bga-ts-templ ... types.d.ts". Then, within the tsconfig.json, use the following compilerOptions: "target": "es5", "module": "AMD","moduleResolution": "node10", "lib": [ "dom", "esnext" ]

Thanks so much! I finally found some time to try this again and can confirm it is working. I really appreciate your help and work on this project.
