I’m building a chrome extension written in TypeScript. I’m using WebStorm and I added the chrome-DefiniteltyTyped library in my project.
However, when I write this in my typescript code : chrome.extension.getURL
I got an error : cannot find name 'chrome'.
Because of this, my javascript file is not generated and I cannot use it in my extension.
Do you guys have any solution?

That should work fine : https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/types/chrome/index.d.ts
TIP: make sure you have a reference tag added:
/// <reference path="pathTo/chrome.d.ts"/>
