src/web/app/components/teammates-common/feedback-path.pipe.ts:2:41 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '../../../types/api-output' or its corresponding type declarations.

                                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Additional info

I am currently working on issue #12588 to Improve the test code coverage of CommentEditFormComponent. When I tried to run the test, the code could not compile. It shows cannot find module '../../../types/api-output'. I am new to this project, is there anything I missed to get this error?

Hi @HarryLu33, Have you tried running the ./gradlew createConfigs command to generate the config files? For more information, please refer to our Setting Up documentation page :)

Thanks for your reply!
yes, I have gone through all the setup steps. However the types/api-output directory is still missing

hi @HarryLu33 I think what you should be missing is gradLew generateTypes, do try that out and let us know if it works!
