TypeScript cannot find name 'describe'

I'm trying to run angular application. I have wiped node_module, reinstall it, install latest typescript version but still I have this error: Cannot find name 'describe', Cannot find name 'beforeEach' and others are same.

Here is code:

import * as React from 'react';
import { mount } from 'enzyme';

import { iocContainer } from '../../utils/ioc';
import { Product } from '../../models/Product';
import { ProductCreationForm } from './ProductCreationForm';
import { ProductStore } from '../../stores/ProductStore';
import * as fileUpload from '../../helpers/fileUpload';
import { FileDialog } from '../ui';

describe('Product creation form', function () {
let store: ProductStore;

beforeEach(() => store = iocContainer.get(ProductStore));
...

Maybe problem in package.json or webpack?

More like an issue with your typescript definintions and jasmine !

In the @types/jasmine package, you have an index.d.ts file containing some lines like this

declare function describe(description: string, specDefinitions: () => void): void;

Could you check if you have them ? Could you also check your package.json to see if you all have the dependencies ?

Also, how did you create your project ? was it with the CLI ?
