typescriptServices.d.ts no longer works without CommonJS

[derekcicerone-zz]

I'm attempting to update the TypeScript language services from master but I'm hitting errors that look like this:

Cannot find name 'ts'.

It looks like this is being caused by this new line in typescriptServices.d.ts:

export = ts;

If I remove this line, references like "ts.Classifier" work once again. With it, I'm not able to reference the classifier either with or without the "ts." prefix. Is there another way to reference things like the classifier that I should use instead?

The code below seems to work (I did it in a file called test.ts) and compiled it with
node tsc test.ts typescriptServices.d.ts --module commonjs

import ts = require("./typescriptServices");
console.log(ts);

var languageService: ts.LanguageService = null;

Hope it helps! :)

edit:
var x: ts.Classifier works too that's what I meant in my example above.

Is that based on compiling the very latest code in the master branch? (not the LKG)

My code is all here btw:

Ok, I think I see what you mean now - this works with CommonJS modules. Hmm, my code isn't currently using CommonJS though - perhaps CommonsJS is now required?

[DickvdBrink]

My example is with the latest master (98750ca).

From what I see in the bridge Gruntfile.js, you are concattening the typescript code with your own code, so you don't want to "require" the file. In that case It might be easier to just remove the export.

Another way:
Use the import like I had and run browserify test.js -o bundle.js to bundle everything in one file which allows you to use the latest code, still having everything in one file.

Cool, thanks for the suggestions (the browserify idea is really cool!). I'll definitely do one of those options if its intentional to no longer support consumption of the definition file without using modules.

Should be fixed in #1417. We'll be bringing that into master shortly.

The new typescriptServices.d.ts file is great! Looks like a lot of stuff was cleaned up and some comments were added - thanks!
