typescript 2.8 problem with 2.27.2

You probably made a mistake with the version of tsutils in your issue report (2.7.1 of this library is really old)...

Anyways, that change was intentional. The function was added but only exposed once the corresponding version of TypeScript was officially released.

Unfortunately supporting older versions of TypeScript is a real PITA API-wise. It would require this library to only expose type declarations for the minimum supported TS version. That would prevent adding functions like isImportTypeNode.

For the time being you can only stay at the older version or use skipLibCheck: true in your compilerOptions.

---

An approach I'm currently investigating is splitting the modules by TS-version. You would import tsutils/typeguard/2.8 which contains only functions compatible with TS2.8. Then there would be another module tsutils/typeguard/2.9 that re-exports everything from 2.8 plus adds new functions for TS2.9
I will try to get this into v3.0.0 of this library.

oh yes,I missed "2" in version problem in very last version : 2.27.2 and 2.27.1 is ok. I will update version on top.

After looking into it again there are some things wrong here: the change log states the function is available as of 2.26.0 (but it was internal in that release). It was exposed in 2.27.2 ... I totally missed that commit. It should have been a minor version instead. But all of this doesn't fix your problem.

2.27.1 is working fine, I will use that one then, at least for now... project is pretty large, I cant use skipLibCheck

This should be fixed in v2.28.0. A guide on how to get compatible declarations is now in the README.
