node.js - How to resolve Typescript external dependencies with mocha and node -

i've got following files;

myclass.ts

/// <reference path="node_modules/phaser/typescript/phaser.d.ts" /> export class myclass {     d: phaser.sprite;     constructor() {         this.d = new phaser.sprite(new phaser.game, 10, 10);     }     win() : boolean {         return true;     } } 

test.ts

/// <reference path="../typings/mocha/mocha.d.ts" /> import mymodule = require('../myclass');   describe('myclass', () => {        var subject : mymodule.myclass;      beforeeach(function () {         subject = new mymodule.myclass();     });      describe('#win', () => {         it('should pass', () => {             var result : boolean = subject.win();             if (result !== true) {                 throw new error('expected true ' + result);             }         });     }); }); 

i've used tsd pull in mocha.d.ts , i'm using ts-node execute typescript in node execute mocha follows;

mocha --compilers ts:ts-node/register 

compilation successful, tests fail @ runtime because phaser not defined;

myclass     #win       1) "before each" hook "should pass"     0 passing (47ms)   1 failing    1) myclass "before each" hook "should pass":      referenceerror: phaser not defined       @ new myclass (c:\users\stafford\documents\git\ts-node-test\myclass.ts:5:22)       @ context.<anonymous> (c:\users\stafford\documents\git\ts-node-test\test\test.ts:8:19)       @ callfn (c:\users\stafford\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\mocha\lib\runnable.js:286:21)       @ hook.runnable.run (c:\users\stafford\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\mocha\lib\runnable.js:279:7)       @ next (c:\users\stafford\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\mocha\lib\runner.js:297:10)       @ immediate._onimmediate (c:\users\stafford\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\mocha\lib\runner.js:319:5) 

i thought have or similar;

import phaser = require('phaser'); 

but breaks compilation error phaser.d.ts;

phaser.d.ts not module.

how can such test execute via command-line?

repro

import phaser = require('phaser');

you should create vendor.d.ts following

declare module 'phaser' {     export = phaser; } 

this create type safe module phaser you. don't forget include phaser.d.ts : https://github.com/photonstorm/phaser/blob/v2.4.4/typescript/phaser.d.ts
