TypeScript v 3.0.3: Cannot find global type 'Promise'

I am seeing the following error while trying to compile using TypesScript v3.0.3. There is no context other than what you see below. I don’t know if this is coming from tslint or the compiler. Has anyone seen this error and can give me a clue as to what might be wrong? I am using Promise<void> through out my code.

Failed to compile. (undefined,undefined): Cannot find global type ‘Promise’.

Here is the content of my tsconfig.json file (ignore the “…” that appears for the “paths” value):

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",

  },

    "src/**/*.spec.*",
    "build",
    "scripts",

    "src/setupTests.ts",

  ]
}

Thanks in advance for any hints anyone might be able to provide.
