Typescript Compilaton Issue With Angular Protractor

Question

I have this simple Typescript class

export class Hello{ myname: string = 'Scott'; sayHello() { console.log(this.myname); } }

From one of my Protractor Typescript files I do this

import { Hello } from './hello'; const hello = new Hello(); hello.sayHello();

However this results in a Typescript compilation error:

[11:48:33] E/launcher - Error: TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript: projects/cxone-component-showcase/e2e/src/hello.ts(3,14): error TS2339: Property 'myname' does not exist on type 'Hello'. projects/cxone-component-showcase/e2e/src/hello.ts(6,26): error TS2339: Property 'myname' does not exist on type 'Hello'.

I can take the same exact Typescript class and use it the actual Angular app and it works just fine. Do I need to update something in the tsconfig file for the e2e tests? Currently for e2e the config is

{ "extends": "../../../tsconfig.json", "compilerOptions": { "outDir": "../../../out-tsc/e2e", "module": "commonjs", "target": "es5", "types": [ "jasmine", "jasminewd2", "node" ] } }

Any ideas this is driving me crazy.

you need to add a constructor , i think :)

I had these two lines in my protractor config file to allow imports to be loaded from the path attribute specified in the tsconfig file:

require('ts-node/register'); require('tsconfig-paths/register');

The require('ts-node/register'); was the issue. Once I removed it the issue went away. Turns out I only needed require('tsconfig-paths/register'); for the paths to work.
