TypeScript compile error for protractor.promise

[skywalker5727]

Bug report

Converting my tests to TypeScript. Test uses Protractor promise
var deferred = protractor.promise.defer();
added 'protractor' to import from protractor/globals.
Getting Typescript error: Property 'promise' does not exist on type 'Protractor'.
Using Visual Studio typescript compiler or gulp-typescript with tsconfig.json
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2015",
"module": "commonjs",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"sourceMap": false,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"removeComments": false,
"noImplicitAny": false,
"outDir": "./built"

Are there missing typings to use protractor.promise?

• Node Version: 6.3.1
• Protractor Version: 4.0.2
• Browser(s): ``
• Operating System and Version Windows 10
• Your protractor configuration file
• A relevant example test
• Output from running the test
• Steps to reproduce the bug
• The URL you are running your tests against (if relevant)

Feature Request

• Reasons for adopting new feature
• Is this a breaking change? (How will this affect existing functionality)

I believe this is because I created a different interface and applied it to the protractor object. In the global protractor, promise actually exists but then this happened:

globals.ts

export interface Protractor {
  // defined some variables that are associated with Protractor
}
export let protractor: Protractor = global['protractor'];

This should use the Protractor namespace... will be addressed.
