kendo.all.d.ts compilation errors

[Morten]

After moving a vs2013 project to vs2015 I get 117 errors when I ref <reference path="typings/kendo.all.d.ts"/> (telerik.kendoui.professional.2016.2.714.commercial) in my ts file (see screen shot).

Hello,

Please ensure that the TypeScript definitions are referenced only once in the project.

In case the issue persist please send us a runnable sample where the issue is replicated. Thus, we will be able to examine the behavior locally and look for its cause.

Hello Vessy

I've created a new mvc website, updated nuget packages and added scripts/typings/kendo.all.d.ts and scripts/site.ts (zipped project downloadable here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ihnsrs7h7qeptfg/kendo_all_d_tsCompilationErrors.zip?dl=0).

When add /// <reference path="typings/kendo.all.d.ts"/> to the site.ts file (see attached screen shot) I get the 117 mentioned errors. I would like ts function drawDateOnChart to compile (kendo.all.d.ts ref needed).

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Morten,

I tested the provided project and it builds without any errors on my side both without applying any changes to it and when removing the comment from the kendo.all.d.ts like follows:

///<reference path="typings/kendo.all.d.ts"/>

This is why I assume that the issue may be related to some cached configuration on your local machine. Can you try the following suggestions and see whether going through them will make a difference?

• Clean the Visual Studio solution and restart Visual Studio. Rebuild the solution.
• Clear the application cache.
• Clear the ASP.NET temporary files. The path to them should be similar to:
  %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
  %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

Looking forward to hearing from you,

I think you are right that the trouble is on my machine.

- I cleaned VS solution and re-build
- I cleaned C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files

(what do you mean by application cache?)

I think the trouble may be due to a wrong typescript version being used to compile ts files in my project.

The csproj file has the following entry in the propertyGroup section:

<TypeScriptToolsVersion>1.8</TypeScriptToolsVersion>

However, when build the project it appears version typescript version 1.4 is used:

I have a stackoverflow question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39145561/how-do-i-get-the-vs2015-web-project-to-build-my-typescript-files-using-typescrip

 

Could you try to see if compiling against ts v1.4 produce the same result at your end?

 

[Vessy]

Hi Morten,

You can see detailed steps on how to clean the VS caches here: http://weblogs.asp.net/psheriff/clean-up-after-visual-studio.

As per your request, I compiled the application against  ts v1.4 but did not produce the same result. You can see the video from my test here: http://screencast.com/t/EkER86CB

Can you verify that the version of the TypeScript.Tasks.dll is the same as shown at the beginning of my video?

In addition, I researched the problem further and  step upon the following GitHub TypeScript issue, where a similar problem is discussed: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/7781

I updated the kendo_ui code to include c# razor comments and now the visual-studio 2017 compiler now ignores the “///” commented line. 

  /// @*<reference path="typings/angular2/angular2.d.ts" />*@
  /// @*<reference path="typings/kendo-ui/kendo-ui.d.ts" />*@

[Vessy]

Hi Allan,

In order to use the TypeScript definitions of the widgets you have to remove the @* *@ of the references as below:

/// <reference path="typings/angular2/angular2.d.ts" />
/// <reference path="typings/kendo-ui/kendo-ui.d.ts" />

You can refer the following help article for more details on the matter:
