ERROR in node_modules/@types/node/globals.global.d.ts(1,44): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'globalThis'

I am using angular 7.2.6, angular-cli 7.3.9 and typescript 3.2.4. I am getting error when building angular app ERROR in node_modules/@types/node/globals.global.d.ts(1,44): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'globalThis'. Can someone please let me know the probable cause for this error.

I see globalThis is introduced in typescript 3.4; but considering i am using typescript 3.2.4, not sure what is causing the above, and how globalThis module is being referred to access variables.

Thanks Vishal Kedar for your response. Your response helped me to think and explore further. After i changed "@types/node": "10.14.0", the issue is resolved.

Update the package.json file for the below module

"@types/node": "^14.0.4" 

Yes! as @vishal said:

npm install @types/node@14.0.4 --saveDev 

works perfectly for me too

Thanks!

I had so error code when i compiled my project.

ERROR in node_modules/@types/node/globals.global.d.ts(1,44): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'globalThis'.

In my case : I opened this file globals.global.d.ts and it has so line

declare var global: NodeJS.Global & typeof globalThis;

and i commented this line and problem was solved
