Unexpected crash! - @google-cloud/compute

I got this error message when trying to generate types for the @google-cloud/compute package:

$ dts-gen -m @google-cloud/compute

Unexpected crash! Please log a bug with the commandline you specified.

My first suspicion was that this was an issue with me using Yarn instead of NPM, so I tried generating types for the yargs package in the readme example. That actually worked fine:

$ dts-gen -m yargs
Wrote 141 lines to yargs.d.ts.

In both cases, I made sure to install the packages globally as per the readme instructions before running the dts-gen command to generate types for them.

Could this be an issue with this particular package?

My info:

@google-cloud/compute version: 0.10.0 yarn version: 1.5.1 Node version: 8.9.4

Running into the same issue with @emmetio/abbreviation

Seems the problem is the forward slash, you can work around the issue by manually specifying the output file with -f.

I don't think the -f workaround worked for me. I used it with the @google-cloud/compute NPM module I tried to generate types for before and it only produced three lines:

> dts-gen -m @google-cloud/compute -f out
Wrote 3 lines to out.d.ts.

The three lines don't appear to describe types meaningfully:

/** Declaration file generated by dts-gen */

export = @google_cloud/compute;

I actually got the same thing, thought that's a different issue than the one that was initially reported here.

Is this project still supported? The original issue was reported 15 days ago and it has yet to receive a response.

[carlos-bernal-gby]

Had the same problem but with the @google-cloud/bigquery module. I've opened a new issue #107 describing that a d.ts file is generated but the content doesn't make sense.

Any updates on this?
