Update dependencies + fix issues related with that

[bartekleon]

By mistake, I have updated some of the files (it was typescript), and after some bug fixing related to that, I have noticed that you are missing a lot of @types and most of them are obsolete!
for example:
currently installed

"@types/glob": "^7.1.0",
"@types/istanbul": "^0.4.29",
"@types/karma": "^3.0.0",
"@types/lodash": "^4.14.110",
"@types/mkdirp": "^0.5.2",
"@types/mocha": "^2.2.44",
"@types/node": "^10.11.5",
"@types/rimraf": "2.0.2",
"@types/sinon": "5.0.5",
"@types/sinon-chai": "^3.2.0"

current:

"@types/glob": "^7.1.1",
"@types/istanbul": "^0.4.30",
"@types/karma": "^3.0.3",
"@types/lodash": "^4.14.134",
"@types/mkdirp": "^0.5.2",
"@types/mocha": "^5.2.7",
"@types/node": "^10.11.5",
"@types/rimraf": "2.0.2",
"@types/sinon": "7.0.13",
"@types/sinon-chai": "^3.2.2",

some of them don't have super changes but other like sinon / mocha are quite obsolete
+ you in one package i have noticed you don't use @types for jest (it can cause some type error in the future)

With regards to TypeScript 3.5, I'm waiting for the fix for microsoft/TypeScript#31676 to be released (will hopefully be 3.5.2). After that I we will be able to update TypeScript itself.

TL;DR;
I'm happy to accept a PR that changes all ^ (minor version) ranges to ~ (patch version) ranges. For more info on ^ and ~ see https://docs.npmjs.com/about-semantic-versioning#using-semantic-versioning-to-specify-update-types-your-package-can-accept.
I'm also happy to accept a PR for mocha types.

Long version:

With regards to the @types dependencies, they're not exactly "obsolete". We're using dependabot to automagically update our dependencies. The thing is, it will only create a PR if the new version is outside of the semver range. For example "@types/lodash": "^4.14.134", is still in ranche of "@types/lodash": "^4.14.110", and so it will not create a PR for it. We're also happy with not following patch releases as it would create a lot of PR's.

I would agree that we should never use ^, instead use ~. That way we will get a PR for minor releases.

The only one that is really outdated are mocha and sinon. Updating sinon will be a lot fo work because of this issue: DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#36019. I'm not sure why mocha isn't updated.
