Could not find a declaration file for module 'ws'

See original GitHub issue

I have a vanilla project setup:

  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "index.js",
  "license": "MIT",
  "dependencies": {
    "graphql-yoga": "^1.14.8"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "10.1.2",
    "typescript": "^2.9.2"
  }
}

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "module": "commonjs",
    "target": "es2015",

    "lib": [

      "esnext.asynciterable"
    ]
  },
  "include": ["./*.ts"]
}

import { GraphQLServer } from "graphql-yoga";

const typeDefs = `
Query {
  hello(name: String): String!
}
`

const resolvers = {
  Query: {
    hello: () => {
      return ""
    },
  },
}

const server = new GraphQLServer({ typeDefs, resolvers })

server.start().then(server => {
  console.log("started server at %s", server.address())
})

❯ yarn -s tsc --project tsconfig.json

error Command failed with exit code 2.

I realize this might be an upstream issue. Anyone else hitting this?
