@okuryu what’s your tsconfig? I think I ran into problems like this because I forgot to set "moduleResolution": "node" at one point

Okay, this is a note for who have encountered the same error. I’m not sure which is the best way, but I confirmed that it works well by using three workarounds.

Option 1. put a small tsconfig.json file which have a "moduleResolution": "node" option

$ cat tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  }
}

Option 2. put default tsconfig.json file

$ npm install --save-dev typescript
$ npx tsc --init

note: The moduleResolution option of the tsconfig.json seems to be commented out.

Option 3. pass a --moduleResolution node option for typedoc like this

$ npx typedoc --out docs --moduleResolution node index.ts

This also works well to me.

@SimenB @brainkim Anyway, thanks a lot for your helps.

@brainkim Thanks for your suggestion!

Hmm, It certainly works when I put the following tsconfig.json file.

$ cat tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  }
}

Is this mean that I need this setting to use the typedoc and jest? I feel a little strange…

Hi,

I have this same error and found this issue when Googling for the string:

Property 'scope' of type 'Scope | undefined' is not assignable to string index type 'VisitNodeObject

As @okuryu suggests it looks like an issue with @types/babel__core

For me a temp fix is to just roll back to both v23:

npm i -D jest@23 babel-jest@23

I hope this helps other until the v24 issue is resolved.

Thanks.
