error TS2503: Build: cannot find namespace 'NodeJS'.

[ferdiozturk]

Using the VS2015 VSTS extension project template from here:
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a00f6cfc-4dbb-4b9a-a1b8-4d24bf46770b

plus vso-node-api (because I need impersonation as service account in my extension)

1. npm i vso-node-api in my project folder
2. typings i dt~node --global --save

vso-node-api seems not to know NodeJS typedef:
