Inversify: Not compiling after adding "types": ["reflect-metadata"] to tsconfig.json

[algolee]

I have installed "inversify" and followed the steps to get started. The steps dictated that I needed to add the following lines to the tsconfig.json file: ... "lib": ["es6"], "types": ["reflect-metadata"], "experimentalDecorators": true, "emitDecoratorMetadata": true ... When types: ["reflect-metadata"] was added to the tsconfig.json file, unit tests no longer compile and my Redux store fails to build with this error:

configureReduxStore.ts(19,7)
      TS2580: Cannot find name '**process**'. Do you need to install type definitions for node? Try `npm i @types/node` and then add `node` to the types field in your tsconfig.

I have already installed @types/node and the problem continues.

For now i will be removing types: ["reflect-metadata"] from the tsconfig.json file and see what happens. However, any other suggestions will be nice.

when you specify types in tsconfig it affects default type behaviour. You need to add node to types as well. It is described in the typescript documentation
