Failure Information (for bugs)

I’m getting this error: TS2591: Cannot find name ‘require’. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try npm i @types/node and then add node to the types field in your tsconfig.

I had types “node” in tsconfig intalled package etc.

Hey just in case anyone needs to solve this in the future:

Make sure you update the tsconfig.lib.json as well as the tsconfig.json inside the lib.

The tsconfig.lib.json in my project had an empty "types":[] which was overwriting the tsconfig.json’s types declaration!
