Cannot build v0.28.1

[marcusradell]

• OS: Ubuntu
• Node.js version: 10.15.1
• npm version: 6.4.1
• @google-cloud/pubsub version: 0.28.1

Steps to reproduce

In a new project:

• npm install typescript @google-cloud/pubsub
• Create a file src/index.ts with content:

import { PubSub } from "@google-cloud/pubsub";

console.log("Hello world!");

• npx tsc --init
• Set rootDir and outDir in tsconfig.json.
• run npx tsc and the console output should give you a typescript error:

~/code/labs/pub-sub (master #)$ npx tsc

node_modules/google-gax/build/src/streaming.d.ts:47:42 - error TS2507: Type '{ default: DuplexifyConstructor; obj(writable?: Writable | undefined, readable?: Readable | undefined, streamOptions?: DuplexOptions | undefined): Duplexify; }' is not a constructor function type.

47 export declare class StreamProxy extends Duplexify {
                                            ~~~~~~~~~
Found 1 error.

I tried to downgrade the pubsub version a bit but it didn't solve it.

Seems like v0.26.0 and v0.27.0 works, but only if I add "noImplicitAny": false to tsconfig.

It still fails on v0.28.0 and v0.28.1 with "noImplicitAny": false set.

I can reproduce this, and have no earthly idea why our install test doesn't catch it.

[JustinBeckwith]

Actually my output is entirely different:

test $ npm run compile

ok figured it out! It's the version of TypeScript that's probably creating the problem. When I hard code to 3.0.0, this problem appears. If I upgrade to 3.3.3333 (no, that is not a typo...) it all works great.

@marcusnielsen what version of TypeScript are you using?

[callmehiphop]

@JustinBeckwith I'm able to reproduce this consistently with a local install of 3.3.3333.

[JustinBeckwith]

waaaaaaaaat

[callmehiphop]

I think it might be the result of using some of the defaults that tsc --init provides. Here's my tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "outDir": "./build",
    "rootDir": "./",
    "strict": true,
    "types": ["node"],
    "esModuleInterop": true
  }
}

[marcusradell]

My report applies to typescript version 3.3.3333.

typescript 3.3.3333

Same error as @marcusnielsen, in gax-nodejs/src/streaming.ts
they are doing:

import * as Duplexify from 'duplexify';

export class StreamProxy extends Duplexify {...}

Edit: removing this is not ideal, causes errors importing other modules.
Making this change in my tsconfig.json eliminated the build error:

{
- "esModuleInterop": true,
+ "esModuleInterop": false,
}

esModuleInterop:

Emit '__importStar' and '__importDefault' helpers for runtime babel ecosystem
compatibility and enable '--allowSyntheticDefaultImports' for typesystem compatibility.
Requires TypeScript version 2.7 or later.

Seems import * as is discouraged:

microsoft/TypeScript#19675

Edit

Try this instead of removing esModuleInterop to isolate fix only to this library:

const PubSub = require('@google-cloud/pubsub').PubSub

[marcusradell]

I can confirm that it builds with const { PubSub } = require("@google-cloud/pubsub");.

I haven't run any code yet to try it out, but hopefully this unblocks us from using the latest version.

Well done with the speedy work here! 🥇

From my point of view, you can close the issue unless you want to keep it open to solve the root cause.

[MattGson]

Looks like GAX had the same issue but has since solved it by removing the dependency on the duplexify types.
Could the same solution be applied here?

I have a combined JS/TS project and rely on esModuleInterop for a number of other dependencies. Unfortunately using CommonJS imports doesn't solve the problem for me (I was already using it for pub sub).

[marcusradell]

@MattGson do you have the same issue with typescript v3.4.1? We were able to solve it by upgrading typescript. You might want to delete your package-lock.json and rm -rf node_modules just to be safe if you try.

After doing so we have managed to use the normal import syntax in all of our projects without any issues.

EDIT: I just realized that it might not have been related to typescript v3.4.1, but rather the wiping of the lock file.

[MattGson]

Hey, that seems to have done the trick. Thanks very much.

I tried deleting package-lock.json and reinstalling with no luck. Then tried updating TS, still no luck. Then I deleted node modules and package-lock.json and reinstalled which seems to have fixed it.

@MattGson @marcusnielsen I'm glad you've found a solution to this issue 🎉

@marcusnielsen please feel free to reopen if you continue to have any issues 👍, closing for now.
