Compile typescript using grunt-ts does not use definition files

Question

When I build the project using "tsc.exe" it compiles fine.

I'm attempting to compile this typescript file: chrome.history.search(null, (historyItems) => { });

I added the chrome definition files using npm install @types/chrome. It builds using tsc.exe and is even recognized correctly by VSCode, but when I try to build it using Grunt and grunt-ts it current fails with the following error:

$ grunt build

My .Gruntfile:

ts: {
    default: {
        files: {'dist/out.js': ['app/src/history.ts'},
            options: {
                sourceMap: true,
                moduleResolution: "node"
            }
        }
    },

I've also tried including the triple-slash directives and import statements.
