The type definition index.d.ts does not exist. Create one and try again.

[iccicci]

Hi all,

my package is written in TypeScript and I create the index.d.ts file only before publishing the package.
It seems that to run tsd I'm forced to run tsc at every change.

Is there a way to test types in index.ts file directly without the need to run tsc before tsd?

Thank you

I'm mid installing tsd right now but need this feature so might have to uninstall...

Hi @hisuwh ,

I can suggest you the solution I adopted here:

Hope this helps

Related to #132.

TypeScript 4.7 supports export maps, so a type definition no longer has to exist at index.d.ts at all.

See #196 for discussion on this.

Same here. Whenever I run npx tsd --files src/**/*.test-d.ts, to run the test files I won't include in the dist folder, I get:

The type definition `./dist/index.d.ts` does not exist at `[...]/dist/index.d.ts`. Is the path correct? Create one and try again.

One workaround is to just create an empty file in dist/index.d.ts:

if [ ! -d dist ]; then mkdir dist; fi && touch dist/index.d.ts && tsd --files src/**/*.test-d.ts
