Seems found typings in your project. Try to use them

I can confirm the last error:

node_modules/protractor/built/ptor.d.ts:33:17 - error TS2307: Cannot find module './selenium-webdriver/lib/input'.

The folder node_modules/protractor/built/selenium-webdriver does not contain a lib folder. It contains only two files: locators.js and webdriver.js-

• Node Version: 8.9.4
• Protractor Version: 6.0.0
• Operating System and Version: Windows 10

@sbley git source contains ts definitions, looks like excluded from package by .npmignore or something else.

I created a pull request #5193 to add the typings as part of the prepublish task.

Seems need also correct @types/selenium-webdriver or supply paths for TS module resolution

[cnishina]

You do not need @types/selenium-webdriver since it was removed from Protractor 6. As far as I know there are no versions that support version 4. There's an issue already discussing removing it locally once we publish our types to DefinitelyTyped.

[cnishina]

Hmmmm... okay looking at the PR, this is an issue. Thanks for the PR! I'll look into it when I get back from vacation.

Just wanted to report I got the same issue. Can't even build our production build with @ngtools/webpack since it's somehow stumbles upon this d.ts file.

Edit: turns out I include our spec files in the compilation process. That's how it was found.

[cnishina]

Yes. This is not working. I tried to get Protractor to work without publishing to DefinitelyTyped. I went on vacation after publishing. I'm sorry that I didn't notice this sooner.
