typeRoots not supported

[filipesilva]

Heya, I'm using ts-node with protractor to run some TS tests and wanted to try out the new @types/* repos for typings.

My tsconfig.json has "typeRoots": [ "../node_modules/@types" ] and that seems to work with the local project tsc, but not with ts-node.

Does ts-node at the moment support typeRoots?

TypeScript 2.0 is still in beta, so it's hard to know. I believe support was probably added with 240d4b9 but if you can confirm that would help.

@blakeembrey just tested and it does work, cheers!

This doesn't work for me.

Try with a capital R. When in doubt, please try tsc directly to confirm if it should work.
