does not exist on type 'typeof global'

Search Terms:
js ts global nodejs

Code
See Playground Link

Expected behavior:
No tsc error

Actual behavior:

[ts] Property 'getErrorAsString' does not exist on type 'typeof global'.

A second - possibly related issue - is that the declaration of clazz1bGlobalVar: clazz1b in ./types/node-global.d.ts is infered to (property) NodeJS.Global.clazz1bGlobalVar: any

A third - possibly related issue - is that if you alter the declaration of clazz1bGlobalVar: clazz1b in ./types/node-global.d.ts to clazz1bGlobalVar: number, it is infered correctly in this file as (property) NodeJS.Global.clazz1bGlobalVar: number. But in e.g. index.js, you can assign just a value of any type to that, e.g. global.clazz1bGlobalVar= "clazz1bInstance". And on hover (property) global.clazz1bGlobalVar: string is shown.

Right now you'll need to augment the type of the global object in Node, though I suspect this is a relatively common thing.

This should already be addressed by types/node-global.d.ts in the playground link. If not, sorry, i could not follow your advice.

I believe this was fixed by #26918 (like #27099 was) and should be good to go with typescript@next

@brendankenny Thanks for the heads-up!
Confirm that this is fixed in 3.1.0-dev.20180919
