Fixes #11103
This solution is to try loading from
@types
at the end ofclassicNameResolver
for global modules if all else failed.I do think that
typingsLookupAmd.trace.json
is overly long. We climb up to the root of the file system before trying@types
. This problem arises because for any target other than commonJS we default to "classic" resolution (moduleResolution = getEmitModuleKind(compilerOptions) === ModuleKind.CommonJS ? ModuleResolutionKind.NodeJs : ModuleResolutionKind.Classic;
); it seems like people could be surprised if they switch their emit to ES6 modules and suddenly can't import their packages any more.
