ts: when starting a new anchor project, the workspace type is missing

[paul-schaaf]

After running

anchor init hello-world

In tests/hello-anchor.ts:

Property 'workspace' does not exist on type 'typeof import("/Users/paul/Coding/solana/forks/hello-anchor/node_modules/@project-serum/anchor/dist/cjs/index")'.ts(2339)

The js object does exist because my tests are running fine. It's just the type that is missing

I've ran into this issue as well, running v0.19.0

Stuck on this too, running js tests fixes for now

Workaround
change
import * as anchor from '@project-serum/anchor';
to
const anchor = require("@project-serum/anchor");

Also Wallet is missing. It is caused by recent changes with

if (!isBrowser) {
  exports.workspace = require("./workspace.js").default;
  exports.Wallet = require("./nodewallet.js").default;
}

The workaround with require is not good enough as the type is then any. Of course, another workaround would be to add custom declaration files. But also maybe this could work: #1182. What do you think?

We hit this problem too, hope can be released soon.
