Invalid module name in augmentation

[wizardnet972]

Hi,

In visual studio, i got this error in every d.ts file under node_modules\rxjs\add\observable\ :
Invalid module name in augmentation, module '../../Observable' cannot be found.
example code: declare module '../../Observable' {

how to fix that please?

[mhegazy]

can you share a sample project we can look at?

[wizardnet972]

did visual studio 2015 uses latest typescript release?
Rxjs 5 uses module augumentation introduced at 1.8 (https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/What's-new-in-TypeScript#augmenting-globalmodule-scope-from-modules )
?

Same problem here.

Same here, "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.6" as well as beta.7
VS 2015 with Update 2 and all installed updates.
TS version is of course >1.8

Installed the latest 1.8.6 download from Microsoft as a VS extension experiencing the same issue...

How do I point Visual Studio to use the local version of Typescript installed locally within my project? (which I have 1.8.10 installed locally)

@bcrigler no way to point VS to use local TypeScript compiler. We have to wait next extention update.
Or you can separate your web project into VS Code project + Service project for C# logic and use local TS with VS code.

Do not do this if you have Update 3 RTM installed

I see the issue now. this is a duplicate of #7415, and should be fixed in the next release (see #7507).

As work arounds for now, you can replace C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TypeScript\typescriptServices.js with the file in https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/Fix8518/lib/typescriptServices.js. First take a local backup though.
