This error is discussed here: #966

I have found that it can resurface randomly with lerna, yarn, npm version changes, etc...

Confirm that cat node_modules/web3/package.json

has something like:

  "types": "index.d.ts",
  "version": "1.0.0-beta.27"
}

at the bottom. the version should match your package.json, but you may find it does not when seeing this error.

Manually installing a specific version number seems to resolve this issue:

npm install [email protected] --save

@OR13, not sure what is the different, I still got the error with [email protected]. FYI I'm on Win10 and this error appear when run the docker-compose up which I got a nodejs app using web3
