ts-node ignores d.ts files while tsc successfully compiles the project

Having compiled my TypeScript project successfully, I intended to run it in VS Code's debug mode using ts-node. Problem is, ts-node can't find d.ts files I created (while tsc has no problem with it).

Project structure is:

/
    conf/
    dist/
    src/
        types/
package.json
tsconfig.json

tsconfig.json relevant entries are:

{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2017",
"module": "commonjs",
// "lib": [],
"sourceMap": true,
"outDir": "dist",
"rootDir": "src",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"baseUrl": ".",
"paths": {
"*": [
"node_modules/*",
"src/types/*"
]
},
// "rootDirs": [],
// "typeRoots": [],
// "types": [],
},
"include": [
"src/**/*"
]
}


The definition file ts-node can't find is src/types/global.d.ts:

import { App } from '../App';

declare global {
namespace NodeJS {
interface Global {
app: App;
}
}
}


So, trying to run it with ts-node I see:

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
src/boot.ts(15,59): error TS2339: Property 'app' does not exist on type 'Global'.

How to resolve it globally? I've found that /// does the trick but I'd have to repeat it in every file using global.app.

My TypeScript version is 3.0.1

Starting with ts-node in 7.0.0, does not Load files from tsconfig.json on startup. Instead, you should specificy --files like this
ts-node --files src/boot.ts
