Npm installation error (VueJS/Typescript)

[kangelSL]

Bug:

On a VueJS project, using the npm install command and basic import statement ( import { render, fireEvent, cleanup } from '@testing-library/vue']) raises an error:

• Could not find a declaration file '@testing-library/vue'

The error recommends installing @types/testing-library__vue. But attempting to install this provides another error message:

• @types/testing-library__vue@latest is not in the npm registry.

To reproduce:

• Spin up a vue app with Jest as the default testing provider and use typescript
• Open a .spec.ts file
• Run the npm install for vue testing library
• Add import { render, fireEvent, cleanup } from '@testing-library/vue';
• IDE picks out import library as an error, npm run test will no longer run successfully
• Installing the suggested library @types/testing-library__vue --save-dev is unsuccessful

Related information:

• @testing-library/vue version: ^1.1.0
• Vue version: ^2.6.10
• node version: 10.15.3
• npm version: 6.9.0

Hi! Vue Testing Library isn't providing types, so that's why you're getting the error (AFAIK).

I don't have much experience with TS, so I'd be really grateful if someone stepped in and helped us provide types for Vue Testing Library :)

I'm closing this since VTL is now providing types :)
