Cannot find global type 'Array'

Question

I'm getting this message when I'm trying to get started my app:

Command:

npm webpack --config config/webpack.prod.js  --progress --profile --bail

Message:

Error in bail mode: [default] Cannot find global type 'Array'.

typescript: 2.0.8 is included on package.json

Any ideas?

I'm getting the same, i think a dependency has changed and broke it. Because it was working fine for me yesterday, then I wiped out node_modules and reinstalled, and got this message. So its a dependency changed issue. Check your "~" and "^" dependencies — TetraDev

If you remove --bail mode, you can see the full list of errors. It will show you many dozens of Type errors, something with TypeScript is busted. — TetraDev

I fixed it by doing these steps:

Removing all ~ and ^ prefixes from package dependencies, so they stop auto-updating and breaking stuff.
Updating to [email protected] - version ^2.2.1 was not working suddenly for some reason. Neither did 2.2.1 (without the ^)

That fixed the build Type errors for me.
