Error in index.d.ts file in node_modules/@types/chai folder

Question

Getting the below error on running "npm run am:remote:dev" command. Error showing in lines from 912 - 1916.

node_modules/@types/chai/index.d.ts(1879,43): error TS1005: ',' expected.
node_modules/@types/chai/index.d.ts(1879,56): error TS1005: ',' expected.

node_modules/@types/chai/index.d.ts(1879,86): error TS1109: Expression expected

Tried delete node modules folder and installed npm again. Tried uninstall all the applications and again re-installed them completely again. Still the error was still there. This is an automation script written in cucumber, protractor using typescript.

PFB the remote-config file which is having the run config:

// tslint:disable:max-line-length
// tslint:disable:no-console
import { browser, Config } from 'protractor';
import capabilitiesConfig from '../capabilities';
const jsonReports = process.cwd() + '/reports/json';

              if (error) { return reject(error); }
              console.log('Connected. Now testing...');

                username: processedConfig.capabilities.username,
                password: process.env.BS_PASSWORD,
            };
        });
  },
  plugins: [{
        package: 'protractor-multiple-cucumber-html-reporter-plugin',
        options: {
            automaticallyGenerateReport: true,
        },
    }],
  params: {
      env: 'local',
      login: {
        username: '',
        password: '',
      },
      application: 'am',
  },

  cucumberOpts: {
    compiler: 'ts:ts-node/register',
    format: 'json:.tmp/am/results.json',
    require: [
      '../../tests/shared/features/*/*.step.js',
      '../../tests/am/features/*/*.step.js',
    ],
    strict: true,
  },
};

Upon running the command, an instance of browserstack will get opened which records the application.

PFB the package.json file for reference.

I met the same exact issue and fixed it by upgrading typescript from 2.3.4 to 3.7.2.

Jeff, thanks for the solution. I was able to solve the issue not by the same steps. My project had some error connecting with git, that was the problem the error was coming, I was able to resolve by re-establishing the git.

I had a similar issue:

node_modules/@types/sinon-chai/node_modules/@types/sinon/index.d.ts(30,57): error TS1005: ',' expected.
node_modules/@types/sinon-chai/node_modules/@types/sinon/index.d.ts(30,66): error TS1011: An element access expression should take an argument.
node_modules/@types/sinon-chai/node_modules/@types/sinon/index.d.ts(35,20): error TS1005: ',' expected.
node_modules/@types/sinon-chai/node_modules/@types/sinon/index.d.ts(50,9): error TS1005: ',' expected.

Changing the typescript version in package.json seemed to fix it. From :

"typescript": "3.2.4",

to:

 "typescript": "3.7.2",
