--all fails with ts-node (Typescript)

[cvle]

First of all, great job with this project!

So I have prefect code coverage using ts-node and [email protected]. It was quiet easy to setup.

{
  "reporter": [
    "lcov",
    "text"
  ],
  "include": [
    "src/**/*.ts",
    "src/**/*.tsx"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "src/**/*.d.ts",
    "src/**/*.spec.ts",
    "src/**/*.spec.tsx"
  ],
  "extension": [
    ".ts",
    ".tsx"
  ],
  "require": [
    "ts-node/register"
  ]
}

But when I use { all: true } it fails like this:

/home/vagrant/projects/typescript/reassemble/node_modules/ts-node/src/index.ts:321
          throw new TypeError(
                ^
TypeError: Unable to require `.d.ts` file.
This is usually the result of a faulty configuration or import. Make sure there is a `.js`, `.json` or another executable extension and loader (attached before `ts-node`) available alongside `assemble.
d.ts`.

Any idea why and how can we fix it?

[cvle]

The other way I tried was to do the register in mocha using --compilers tsx:ts-node/register,ts:ts-node/register. Setting { all: true } doesn't fail but it is more like a no op.

I'm coming from https://github.com/gotwarlost/istanbul and it works over there. This is the only thing keeping me from migrating all my projects from istanbul to nyc.

[cvle]

Sorry my bad. It works when I do the require in mocha! Time to migrate all my projects!

@cvle nice! had a conversation with @wbyoung about this exact same issue earlier today:

#509

Where do you think we should document this caveat? would love help updating the README ... also, if you're feeling really ambitious, it would be amazing to get a TypeScript tutorial up here eventually for other folks.

[juanpicado]

@cvle what do you meant with the require thing?

[juanpicado]

Ahh, now I get it, the fix is remove the require from the nyc options body.

"require": [
   "ts-node/register"
],

and do it in this way

mocha --require ts-node/register

[JaKXz]

@juanpicado would you like to make a contribution to our docs? :)

I haven't used TypeScript in a while, so it would be nice to keep the tutorial up to date on this for the latest versions of nyc and ts-node etc from someone who has been in the trenches.

[juanpicado]

Sure ! There it goes

[felixfbecker]

Even with the register as part of mocha, I get the same error as with the register as part of nyc

node_modules/typescript/lib/typescript.js:89057
        ts.Debug.assert(outputText !== undefined, "Output generation failed");
                 ^

But without --all it works fine

The solution from @juanpicado helps, but it does not solve the problem.

If I require ts-node in mocha instead of in nyc, the option all has no effect. All my ts files that is not imported by *.spec.ts will not be included. See #603

"exclude": ["**/*.d.ts"] in .nycrc helped me

[grayrattus]

I had similar problem with typescript globals.d.ts
After removing
"require": [ "ts-node/register" ]
from nyc options body, everything worked. I tried many different solutions and this is the only one that worked, thanks!

"exclude": ["**/*.d.ts"] in .nycrc helped me

is failing my test coverage because i need a global.d.ts.

It did the trick for me, thanks @ilyadoroshin !
