Thank you Ignat Vilesov for your help,

For other people who takes same error :

 

Ignat's solution : rename namespace to module in settings.ts and visual.ts.

TypeScript namespaces are not supported yet. Please always use modules instead.

  1. Did you add settings.ts into tsconfig.json? How did you declare Settings class?
  2. Yes, you should use PascalCase in TypeScript as per name convention.

As you see there are some errors in visualPlugins.ts . When i start a new project it's working couple times but after that starting to giving errors :

Cannot find name 'VisualSettings'.
error TYPESCRIPT /src/visual.ts : (69,55) Cannot find name 'VisualSettings'.
error TYPESCRIPT /src/visual.ts : (70,14) Cannot find name 'VisualSettings'.
error TYPESCRIPT /src/visual.ts : (70,48) Cannot find name 'VisualSettings'.
error TYPESCRIPT /src/visual.ts : (86,14) Cannot find name 'VisualSettings'.
error TYPESCRIPT /src/visual.ts : (87,26) Cannot find name 'VisualSettings'.
error TYPESCRIPT /visualPlugin.ts : (8,153) Property 'KPITest' does not exist on type 'typeof kpiPowerBi3255E

 

How can i fix problems in above image ?


Should i change   class : 'Visual' to class: 'MyClassName'  in visualPlugin.ts ? Because i changed my class name only in visual.ts and pbiviz.json files .
