How to use ts-nameof in the gulp build chain, getting: Unknown compiler option 'getCustomTransformers'.?

I am using ts-nameof within my TypeScript files as like in this .ts-file:

import 'ts-nameof';

export class MyTsNameOfTest {
  public testTsNameOf() {
    const nameString = nameof(console.log);
  }
}

My Gulp build task - as recommended here Gulp configuration:

const gulp = require('gulp');
const ts = require('gulp-typescript');
const tsNameof = require("ts-nameof");

gulp.task("typescript", function () {
  gulp.src("src/**/*.ts")
    .pipe(ts({
      getCustomTransformers: () => ({ before: [tsNameof] })
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest("./dist"));
});

Running gulp I get error:

error TS5023: Unknown compiler option 'getCustomTransformers'.

Versions I am using:

gulp 3.9.1
gulp-typescript 3.2.4
typescript 2.9.2
ts-nameof 2.0.0

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Preparation

Install required npm packages

npm install typescript
npm install gulp@^4.0.0                
npm install gulp-typescript@^5.0.0
npm install del
npm install ts-nameof

gulp-typescript WITHOUT a project

Prepare gulpfile.js

const gulp = require('gulp');
const ts = require('gulp-typescript');
const tsNameof = require("ts-nameof");
const del = require('del');

gulp.task('clean', () => {
    return del(['./dist/**']);
});    

gulp.task('ts', function () {
    return gulp.src('./src/**/*.ts')
        .pipe(ts({
            getCustomTransformers: () => ({ before: [tsNameof] })
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

gulp.task('default',
    gulp.series(
        'clean',
        'ts',
    ));

gulp-typescript WITH a project using existing tsconfig.json

Using gulp-typescript with an existing tsconfig.json the gulpfile.js must be adjusted where the option getCustomTransformers is configured:

Prepare gulpfile.js

const gulp = require('gulp');
const ts = require('gulp-typescript');
const tsNameof = require("ts-nameof");
const del = require('del');

gulp.task('clean', () => {
    return del(['./dist/**']);
}); 

var tsProject = tsProject || null;
gulp.task('ts::Project', function () {
    if (!tsProject) {
        tsProject = ts.createProject(
            'tsconfig.json',
            {
                getCustomTransformers: () => ({ before: [tsNameof] })
            }
        );
    }
    return gulp.src('./src/**/*.ts')
        .pipe(tsProject())
        .pipe(gulp.dest("./dist"));
});

gulp.task('tsProject',
    gulp.series(
        'clean',
        'ts::Project',
    ));

Transpiling

Run gulpfile.js with

./node_modules/.bin/gulp

or

./node_modules/.bin/gulp tsProject

Execution

Execute transpiled file tsNameofTest.js

node dist/tsNameofTest.js  // expected output: nameString: log

Remark: if typescript target is ESNext I got exectution errors with following statement in .ts file as it was in the final .js file, too:

import 'ts-nameof';

I got is fixed by replacing it with

/// <reference path="../node_modules/ts-nameof/ts-nameof.d.ts" />

Update

It is now even possible to install the type definition of ts-nameof globally:

npm install @types/ts-nameof --save-dev

Neither import nor /// <reference path="" /> is neccessary.
