What happened?

I just created a default project with latest everything choosing TypeScript and Cucumber. Tests pass, but when I go to the pageobjects fijes I get the following errors:

Namespace 'global.WebdriverIO' has no exported member 'Element' .ts(2694)

Cannot find name '$'. Do you need to install type definitions for jQuery? Try `npm i --save-dev @types/jquery`.ts(2581)

Cannot find name 'browser'.ts(2304)

What is your expected behavior?

This errors should not be popping.

How to reproduce the bug.

Create npm project ( npm init -y )
Create wdio project ( npm init wdio )
- Selected typescript and cucumber
Run automatically generated tests -> pass
Go to see pageobjects at features/pageobjects
See TS errors raise with WebdriverIO.Element and, browser and $ objects:

Namespace 'global.WebdriverIO' has no exported member 'Element' .ts(2694)

Cannot find name '$'. Do you need to install type definitions for jQuery? Try `npm i --save-dev @types/jquery`.ts(2581)

Cannot find name 'browser'.ts(2304)

Relevant log output

Namespace 'global.WebdriverIO' has no exported member 'Element' .ts(2694)

Cannot find name '$'. Do you need to install type definitions for jQuery? Try `npm i --save-dev @types/jquery`.ts(2581)

Cannot find name 'browser'.ts(2304)

Already fixed it. Apparently the installer sent my tsconfig and my wdio.conf as well inside a /test/ directory. Never happened to me before. Easy fix though.

~same here 😞~ works using Node 16 and the following tsconfig.json setting:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["node", "@wdio/globals/types"],
  }
}

👍🏻
