require.context crashes in main.ts

[sandiprb]

Version

3.0.1

Node and OS info

Node v8.11.3 / Yarn 1.3.2 / Mac OSX

Steps to reproduce

• Generate project using vue-cli-3 with typescript support.
• Trying to register Global components in main.ts file with steps provided here (steps for none-ts project https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/components-registration.html#Automatic-Global-Registration-of-Base-Components)

code snippet:

const requireComponents = require.context('./components/common/', false, '/\.vue$/') 

now while doing yarn serve it breaks the build with error

ERROR in src/main.ts
9:34 Property 'context' does not exist on type 'NodeRequire'.

What is expected?

require.context should be allowed in ts definitions for import.

What is actually happening?

context method no available on NodeRequire

Please provide a repository with project using the exact code that causes this error.

1. The last parameter of require.context should be RegExp rather than string
2. Could be fixed by running yarn add @types/webpack-env and add "@types/webpack-env" to the types field in tsconfig.json
