If you've added a types element into tsconfig.json, then all the types are not included automatically by tsc only those specified, so you can either:

a) explicitly add "node"
b) or just add: declare var require: any; to typings.d.ts.

Its not that I don't know a way to resolve this problem. But the generated project is just incorrect and this should be fixed in some way. I personally will take look into the cli in a few weeks again. Right now I am running into to much problems.

[bthharper]

Sorry, I see your issue now. Good luck with submitting a PR - sounds like a good fix to make.
