Trying to run quickstart npm start and get the following on Mac Pro Sierra v10.12.1.
npm -v // 3.10.9
tsc -v // 2.1.4

I can run npm lite and server starts up, but any cli common with tsc (npm tsc, npm tsc:w) gets the errors below. I can run tsc outside the quickstart dir and everything works fine. I checked my node_modules permissions and seems correct. Any suggestions? Thanks

I was oppening a new issue on this, good thing that I didn't. Just updated Node and NPM just in case but the error is still there.

I am experiencing a similar error on Windows.

C:\quickstart>npm start

Exact same problem here.

instead of
>npm start
try
>npm run lite

@abductedMind
Copy link

@nickJones67 That runs, but please explain why.

@JPCortesP
Copy link

@nickJones67 it works, however, the *.ts aren't updating the *.js...

@abductedMind Not sure. I discovered it on this issue discussion
@JPCortesP Yes this a pretty big problem.

I managed to get it running using two terminal windows, one with npm run tsc:w other with npm run lite

This seems to be related with a @types problem. Can you try using this exact one?

@types/selenium-webdriver@2.53.33

@JPCortesP

@filipesilva it works now. Wonder what's the inner problem with the newer version?

Not too sure myself but @cnishina is working on it I believe.

@nickJones67 thanks for your help >npm run lite works.. i've been confused for an hour!

@Lloydinator

Man this was driving me mad for an hour, especially after seeing npm run lite run (but without my controllers working). Tried installing selenium manually and same thing. So glad I stopped by here. Thanks so much @filipesilva. Hope this thing is resolved soon.

If anyone is still confused,

change the following in package.json

"start": "tsc && concurrently \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run lite\" "
to
"start": "concurrently \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run lite\" "

@daintym0sh thanks changing that npm start seems to work. Though those errors still persist, but doesn't seem to effect the build.

Per @filipesilva, rather than modify package.json, use a specific version of selenium-webdriver:

npm install @types/selenium-webdriver@2.53.33

@jts-code
Copy link

Can confirm that on Windows the only needed change is changing this line package.json from

    "@types/selenium-webdriver": "^2.53.33"

to

    "@types/selenium-webdriver": "2.53.33"

Then an npm install and npm start should work like normal.

@jtdewey can confirm this solution working on Mac too. Thanks! @filipesilva @andresrinivasan

This trick didn't work for me (Ubuntu 14.04 )

Can confirm that on Windows the only needed change is changing this line package.json from

"@types/selenium-webdriver": "^2.53.33"

to

"@types/selenium-webdriver": "2.53.33"

Then an npm install and npm start should work like normal.

I had to use this command to start :

npm run lite

I have npm version 4.1.1
