Current behavior

• TS2304: Cannot find name 'Omit' error occurs when compiling using nest cli

So i tried tsc-watch -p tsconfig.build.json --onSuccess node dist/main.js and dist/main.js but it worked.

I found that the error only occurs when using nest cli and it only affects in nest swagger

These are the commands I tried but got an error

• nest build --watch --webpack
• nest start

Here is my nest-cli.json

{
  "collection": "@nestjs/schematics",
  "sourceRoot": "src",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "webpack": true,
    "plugins": ["@nestjs/swagger/plugin"]
  }
}

Expected behavior

Starting normally

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

@kamilmysliwiec I found out that Nest is using the Global Cli for compilation. I face this error and the way to solve it it was uninstalling and reinstalling the global cli. Hope it works for you too.

@kamilmysliwiec I think this is because @nestjs/schematics has a peer dependency of "peerDependencies": { "typescript": "^3.4.5" }, which doesn’t have Omit.
