Chevrotain fails to compile with Typescript and noImplicitAny

Here are the errors:

I fixed them in my local copy of chevrotain.d.ts but I don't see how/where you are generating that file here.

Here's my fixed version: https://gist.github.com/ibdknox/47efe725ea4f99cafac90dbe34b6e4ae

Thanks for reporting this.

The chevrotain.d.ts file is created by concatenating the public API definitions.
https://github.com/SAP/chevrotain/blob/830d3677228a61ffcf2a3c985ff19aa36ba7c574/gruntfile.js#L246
As there is no need to expose the none public APIs in the definitions.

I'll have a look at enabling the strict option in the the recently released TypeScript 2.3
https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/What's-new-in-TypeScript#new---strict-master-option

This will cause the most strict compilation possible and thus the definitions should be compatible
regardless of which subset of the optional compilation flags are enabled.

fix will be included in 0.28.2 which should finish the release process in a few minutes.

Awesome. Thanks for the quick fix!
