Is this again something related to typings or typescript?
I see in tsconfig.json this:

And when i go those types i see this in the metadata json file

I see describe there as global.
So why do i get the error in the editor?
Is that path not good ?
"typeRoots": [
"../node_modules/@types"
]

[stefanaerts]

Ok, i found the problem. its not the CLI.
CLI works fine,the tests run as expected.
But the editor needs to know the path to the correct typescript version.
So this i added to my user preferences(settings.json):
"typescript.tsdk": "node_modules/typescript/lib",

[stefanaerts]

and some other maybe useful information.
if you use
"typeRoots": [
"../node_modules/@types"
],
together with
"types": [
"firebase"
]
you get errors.
So remove types, just use"typeRoots": [
"../node_modules/@types"
]

...or, just add to tsconfig.json in src folder:

, "exclude": [ "**/*.spec.ts" ]

[surya1104]

just add
import { } from 'jasmine';
Helped me to resolve the errors
