Types issue with Glob and Minimatch

[cbartondock]

When I run rimraf dist I see:

node_modules/@types/glob/index.d.ts:29:42 - error TS2694: Namespace 

'"D:/Projects/Development/steam-rom-manager/node_modules/minimatch/dist/cjs/index"' 

has no exported member 'IOptions'.

Found 2 errors in the same file, starting at: node_modules/@types/glob/index.d.ts:29

Error is also noted here, and the solution is to not run rimraf:

Minimatch, glob, and @types/minimatch and @types/glob are all at their latest version.

You shouldn't need those @types packages if rimraf glob and minimatch are all at latest. They're written in typescript. Maybe remove those?

[isaacs]

Confirmed, the @types are borked. Remove them and it works just fine.

npm rm @types/glob @types/rimraf @types/minimatch
npm i rimraf@latest

[cbartondock]

Thanks this does work, although it is still bit annoying since @types/glob is listed as an (optional) dependency for @electron/asar, so running npm install will put it right back.

[isaacs]

Sounds like @electron/asar needs to not have that optional dep. DT types should usually only ever be dev deps. Tell 'em I sent ya.

[isaacs]

I'd help more, but there's literally nothing I can do. I don't maintain electron, definitelytyped, or typescript. Fwiw I did request that they remove the @types/glob type, or make it a stub, because glob has its own types now.

Thanks for your help!

@isaacs
I am also facing the same issue,
node_modules/minimatch/dist/cjs/index"' has no exported member 'IOptions'.
node_modules@types\glob\index.d.ts 29
C:\Users\xxx\Source\repos\xxxx\Angular\tsconfig.json

Do you want to remove the @types/glob type? If I remove the glob folder , its regenerating the folder again.
I can't ask everyone to do the same, right?

Do I need to make any changes to the package.json or tsconfig file? becuase I want to push the code our QA server without any issue.

I have same issue with [email protected] that has dependency on @types/[email protected] but can't figure out how to solve it. Sorry not an expert at Angular and npm :)

Can you please help me?

[isaacs]

Please follow the steps I detailed above.
