Cannot find module 'fs'

[sjclemmy]

Possibly related to #5149
I'm getting the above error when trying to compile a node reference. I've set up all the typings correctly I believe, my IDE (webStorm) is comfortable with the module name resolution and the compiled files are correct. However the compiler is still throwing these errors for core node components.
Is this a current issue or am I missing something?

What is your moduleResolution compiler setting?

I wasn't aware of that flag, but I've just added it and put in 'node' as the option and I still get the error. I've used tsd to get install the typings file and referenced it directly rather than referencing the tsd.json fie.

top of 'makeModule.ts' file:

/// <reference path="typings/node/node.d.ts" />
import * as fs from "fs";

tsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true
  },
  "files": [
    "makeModule.ts"
  ]
}

Whoops, misread the original issue and removed my comment.

I'm not able to reproduce the issue. You're saying that you're getting issues at the command line, right? What version of TypeScript are you using? What are you typing on the command line to execute the compiler?

I've isolated the commands and created a new folder etc, and I can't reproduce the issue. Let me see if it's something to do with some other element in the ts file I've created.

Found the issue.
My script has #!/usr/local/bin/node at the top. This causes the issue.
To reproduce the issue:
There is a type file in typings/node/node.d.ts, in this case installed using command tsd install node.

problemfile.ts contains:

#!/usr/bin/env node

/// <reference path="typings/node/node.d.ts" />

import * as fs from "fs";
var currentDir = process.cwd();

and compile with tsc --module commonjs problemfile.ts

This generates the errors:

problemfile.ts(5,21): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'fs'.
problemfile.ts(6,18): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'process'.

this is bug - we should ignore shebang trivia similar to what we do with other kinds of trivia when processing reference comments

Even tho I installed the latest node @types i get an error when tying to use :
import * as fs from "fs";

How about this one :
const config = require( __dirname+'/../../../config.json');

I tried it with :
import * as config from '/../../../config.json';
But I just get Cannot find module...
