<lhk_>there's another problem that I have with typescripts declaration files
<lhk_>maybe you could take a look at it ?
<jden>I can try
<lhk_>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14083427/using-nodejs-with-typescript
<lhk_>I'm importing the .d.ts for nodejs
<lhk_>and VisualStudio marks a lot of errors
<lhk_>basically complaining that a private interface is extended
<jden>.d.ts files are like C headers, a combination of interface definitions and `declare` statements
<jden>let me fire up a vm with visual studio and have a look
<lhk_>jden, I've taken a look at node.d.ts
<lhk_>i think i coud create the .d.ts for socket.io
<lhk_>but this error with the private interfaces, I don't understand it
<lhk_>thanks for your efforts
<lhk_>it's really great, that i've finally found someone who can help
<lhk_>here's a pastebin
<lhk_>http://pastebin.com/Q4E3mw2z
<lhk_>the final line is marked red by VS2012
<lhk_>the error message is
<lhk_>"exported interface 'Server' extends interface from private module 'events'"
<jden>ah - I'm fumbling around in VS right now, sorry I'm not much help. In the mean time have you tried running the example with node? http://typescript.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/2bee84410e02#samples/imageboard/README.txt
<lhk_>I'll try that right now
<lhk_>hm, that will take some setup time, since I have neither codeplex nor mongodb
<lhk_>there's a simple example, too
<lhk_>ill use that
<jden>hmm, I got it working without issue
<jden>https://gist.github.com/4409621
<jden>exact steps: Visual Studio -> new project -> HTML application with TypeScript template. Open command line, cd to project directory, run `tsd install node`
<jden>then using the code in that gist, had full intellisense & could compile w/o errors
<lhk_>ill try it
<lhk_>you are right, it works
<lhk_>I downloaded the gist, compiled HttpServer and fired up node
<lhk_>no error
<lhk_>ill try to use this node.d.ts in my typescript project
<lhk_>one moment
<lhk_>after copying the node.d.ts from the sample node application to my node application, i opened it in VisualStudio and there were no errors at all. I was glad, that the problem seemed solved but at a first glance there were no differences between the two versions.
<lhk_>I modified the other type declarations, the .d.ts files for express and socket.io to point to the new node.d.ts but in express-3.0.d.ts there's still the strange error
<lhk_>this already is the .d.ts file installed by tsd
<lhk_>the error occurs in this line
<lhk_>export interface ServerResponse extends http.ServerResponse {
<lhk_>and the error message is:
<lhk_>"exported interface 'ServerResponse' extends interface from private module 'http'"
<lhk_>really I don't get it
<lhk_>at first this error was in node.d.ts, too
<lhk_>although nothing is marked as private
<lhk_>then i switched to the node.d.ts from microsofts typescript sample and the error just vanished
<lhk_>now this line was valid
<lhk_>export interface Server extends events.NodeEventEmitter{
<lhk_>but the error persisted in express-3.0.d.ts
<lhk_>which just seems completely arbitrary
<lhk_>why would a module called http be public in node.d.ts and all of a sudden private in express-3.0.d.ts
<lhk_>WHY ???
<lhk_>jden sorry that this takes so long, but I really don't know how to fix the error
<jden>hmm, I don't really understand TS's attempt to introduce public/private.
<lhk_>me neither
<lhk_>i will create an issue on the typescript codeplex project
<lhk_>may I add a link to a copy of our conversation ?
<jden>sure
<lhk_>thanks, do you have any idea left, that I could try ?
<jden>Well, I `tsd installed` the d.ts files for express and socket.io, and I'm playing around with them, and I can't reproduce the error you're seeing
<lhk_>hm. These errors are the worst kind of errors
<jden>could you paste the code that's giving you the errors in a gist?
<lhk_>sure
<lhk_>one moment
<lhk_>I've created a pastebin
<lhk_>here's how I produce the error
<lhk_>cd to an empty folder
<lhk_>tsd install node
<lhk_>tsd install express
<lhk_>open the express-3.0.d.ts in VS2012 and change the reference path to point to node-0.8.d.ts
<lhk_>then the file is found
<jden>k, gotta run
<jden>I'll check in later
<lhk_>here's the pastebin
