Gulp with TypeDoc errors

Question

Good time of the day, every body

I created a gulp task that should create tsdocs, that's what it looks like.

'use strict'; var gulp = require('gulp'), helpers = require('../helpers/gulp-helpers')(), plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')(), env = require('./gulp.env'); function typedoc() { return gulp.src([ 'src/scripts/**/*!(.spec).ts', '!src/scripts/**/*.spec.ts', ...env.settings.typings ]).pipe(plugins.typedoc({ module: 'commonjs', target: 'es5', experimentalDecorators: true, ignoreCompilerErrors: false, version: true, out: 'docs' })).on("error", (error) => { if (error.plugin && error.message) { // it is a gulp plugin error helpers.log("Error in plugin: " + error.plugin); helpers.log(error.message); } else { // some other error helpers.log(error); } exitCode++; }) // make exit code non-zero } // Workaround: directly calling process.exit() has corner cases where // the console.log statements are not flushed (namely if stdout is piped // instead of goes to a terminal). let exitCode = 0; process.on("exit", function() { if (exitCode != 0) process.exit(exitCode); }); gulp.task('ts:docs', typedoc); 

When I run it, it fails, with this list of errors:

Answer 1

Typedoc does not update the npm typescript version (dependency module). therefore, you simply open the Typedoc folder, available in the node_modules folder in your project, and edit the package.json file as follows.

"typescript": "1.6.2" to "typescript": "1.8.10"

then run the npm i command in the Typedoc project.

after that you can start creating your script documents. It will work fine.
