I hit this issue in a repo that does not have any monorepo/lerna setup. Tried various things from this discussion here and also from the one linked to above in DT, and nothing helped. The only thing that helped was to explicitly install @types/jquery as a dev dependency.

Here’s the tsconfig files if that helps:

root tsconfig

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "noEmit": true,
        "allowJs": true,
        "checkJs": true,
        "target": "es6",
        "moduleResolution": "Node",
        "resolveJsonModule": true,
        "declaration": true,
        "noImplicitReturns": true,
        "jsx": "react",
        "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
        "baseUrl": "."
    },
    "include": ["./src/**/*"],
    "exclude": ["node_modules", "built", "cypress"]
}

cypress/tsconfig.json

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "strict": true,
        "baseUrl": "../node_modules",
        "target": "es5",
        "lib": ["es5", "dom"],
        "types": ["cypress"]
    },
    "exclude": []
}

Sorry, I don’t have the bandwidth to look at this right now. Anyone is welcome to dig a little bit and suggest a solution.
