"typeRoots" and "types" options are not recognized.

Description

Typescript version is not 2 or higher -- some tsconfig options are not recognized. package.json seem to have right versions of both typescript and gulp-typescript. I did not change any of generated code.

There are many type errors after that -- I can add them if needed.

Thanks in advance!

I think I have found the reason: there are incompatibilities of typescript versions in gulp-typescript and typescript itself:

{
  "devDependencies": {
    ...
    "gulp-typescript": "^2.10.0",
    ...
    "typescript": "^2.1.0",
    ...
  },
...
}

gulp-typescript takes typescript@1.8 or something - that is why errors occure. If you change version of gulp-typescript to 3.1.0 or higher, those error (and all typings error) will disappear.

same issue, but could not identify the module containing the old typescript version.
