Namespace 'Webpack' has no exported member 'Compiler'.

I’m submitting a bug report

• Library Version: 0.31.0

Please tell us about your environment:

• Operating System: Windows [7|10]

• Node Version: 8.1.2

• NPM Version: 5.0.3

• Browser: all

• Language: TypeScript 2.4.2

Current behavior: I have problem when I call ‘webpack’ command.

Namespace 'Webpack' has no exported member 'Compiler'.
Namespace 'Webpack' has no exported member 'Options'.
Namespace 'Webpack' has no exported member 'Parser'.
Namespace 'Webpack' has no exported member 'Compilation'.
Namespace 'Webpack' has no exported member 'Resolver'.
Cannot find name 'DependencyOptionsEx'.
Invalid module name in augmentation. Module 'minimatch' resolves to an untyped module at C:/.../Desktop/aunew/autest/node_modules/minimatch/minimatch.js', which cannot be augmented.

I was able to fix this and avoid any workaround by using “skipLibCheck: true” in my tsconfig.json.

@HamedFathi I managed to fix this by adding an explicit reference to the webpack type definition in tsconfig.js:

  ...
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "aurelia_project"
  ],
  "files":[
    "./node_modules/@types/webpack/index.d.ts"
  ],
  "filesGlob": [
    "./src/**/*.ts",
    "./test/**/*.ts",
    "./custom_typings/**/*.d.ts"
  ],
  ...

Not sure if this is the correct fix, but it works for me.
