[plantain-00]

TypeScript Version: 2.4.0

Code

import * as Vue from "vue";
console.log(Vue);

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "module": "esnext"
    }
}

Expected behavior:

no error.

Actual behavior:

error TS2307: Cannot find module 'vue'.

Reference 1 of js file with same source code:

Result: works fine with webpack.

Reference 2 of with same source code and this tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "module": "commonjs"
    }
}

Result: no compilation error, and works fine with webpack.

Try setting moduleResolution to node.
