Error during webpack build with jasmine - jasmine

Question

My webpack build started failing. The error I'm getting is this:
asset optimizationError in bail mode: [default]

app\mum-frontend-angular\node_modules\#types\jasmine\index.d.ts:39:37
A parameter initializer is only allowed in a function or constructor implementation.

I have not changed any of my dependencies, however, some are a bit outdated. I haven't had any problems with the current setup before. My package.json looks like this:
{
"name": "mum-ngui-web",
"version": "0.0.0",
"license": "MIT",
"angular-cli": {},
"scripts": {
"start": "ng serve",

"pree2e": "webdriver-manager update",
"e2e": "protractor"
},

"protractor": "5.0.0",

"typescript": "~2.1.5"
}
}
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

I had the same problem.
Locking my jasmine version fixed it.
So in your case, try replacing
"#types/jasmine": "^2.5.40",
by
"#types/jasmine": "2.5.40",
also I think this is the issue itself on the github:
