NetSuite Professionals

Hey HITC TypeScript users... I'm trying to set up my environment to start writing suitescript in TS, but I keep getting a "Cannot find module 'N/types'." error.

though I should ask, did you use the `tsconfig.json` that's described in that repo?

it's supposed to work - and if it's become stale I guess it should be updated :slightly_smiling_face:

```json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "module": "umd",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "target": "ES2018",
    "sourceMap": false,
    "newLine": "LF",
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "lib":["es2018", "dom"],
    // skip to workaround a lodash.d.ts error TS2428: All declarations of 'WeakMap' must have identical type parameters.
    //"skipLibCheck": true,
    "paths": {
      "N/*": [
        "node_modules/@hitc/netsuite-types/N/*"
      ]
    }
  },
  "exclude":["node_modules",  "__mocks__"]
}```

Also, you don't call `tsc` on individual files. just run `tsc` without additional arguments from the folder with your `tsconfig.json`

I originally used the tsconfig from the repo, and got the error. I now updated to the one you mentioned above but still got the same error

Does this folder/file structure look correct?

Update - I got this working. For some reason, the N folder in node_modules was empty? I re-ran the npm install --save-dev @hitc/netsuite-types and it showed back up

great. Yes if that package wasn't installed correctly it would cause legit errors!
