VScode unable to find type definitions for jest.

[ydennisy]

Current Behavior

Everything is working as expected, but VSCode cannot find the type definitions for jest, I am pretty much using an unchanged init of the library:

I have tried adding the types manually to the package.json with no luck.

Expected behavior

No errors to be shown.

Might be a regression from #672 since @types/jest was removed from the templates and added as a direct TSDX dependency (maybe that's why it was like that in the first place but there were no comments on it :confused: ).

But since you said you installed the types yourself and it still didn't work sounds like a possible duplicate of #696 .

I have tried adding the types manually to the package.json with no luck.

Did you npm install -D @types/jest? Or just added to package.json?

@agilgur5 I tried yarn add @types/jest --dev but it didn't work for me. I am still getting the following error in VSCode:-

Cannot find name 'describe'. Do you need to install type definitions for a test runner? Try npm i --save-dev @types/jest or npm i --save-dev @types/mocha.ts(2582)

Can we reopen this issue because it seems anyone would encounter this during setup itself?
