Have you set things up the same way as `pulumi new` does?  Or are you using a custom layout?

Can you share the `tsconfig.json` and `package.json` files you are using?

yeah normal `pulumi new`:
```
{{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "bin",
    "target": "es6",
    "lib": ["es6"],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "pretty": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
  },
  "files": ["index.ts"]
}

```

```
{
  "name": "aws-typescript",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/node": "latest"
  },
  "types": "global.d.ts",
  "dependencies": {
    "@octokit/rest": "^16.28.4",
    "@pulumi/aws": "latest",
    "@pulumi/aws-serverless": "^0.15.1",
    "@pulumi/awsx": "latest",
    "@pulumi/cloud": "^0.18.1",
    "@pulumi/cloud-aws": "^0.18.1",
    "@pulumi/pulumi": "latest",
    "github-app": "^4.0.1",
    "jsonwebtoken": "^8.5.1"
  }
}

```

my definitions are in `global.d.ts` at my project root

i could put together a sample repo if that's easier
