Sequelize ts error. Argument of type '"long"' is not assignable to parameter of type 'TextDataTypeOptions'

import { Sequelize, DataTypes, Model, BuildOptions } from 'sequelize';

...

client_data: {
    type: DataTypes.TEXT('long'),
    allowNull: false
}

I searched everything I can find and they say this is right.

For "sequelize": "^5.21.3" and postgresql, short answer:

It should be DataTypes.TEXT({ length: 'long' }); The parameter interface of the DataTypes.TEXT() method is below:

data-types.d.ts:

export interface TextDataTypeOptions {
  length?: TextLength;
}

Long answer, a completed working example:

index.ts:

import { DataTypes, Model } from 'sequelize';
import { sequelize } from '../../db';

class SomeEntity extends Model {}
SomeEntity.init(
  {
    client_data: {
      type: DataTypes.TEXT({ length: 'long' }),
      allowNull: false,
    },
  },
  { sequelize, modelName: 'SomeEntities' },
);

(async function test() {
  try {
    await sequelize.sync({ force: true });
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  } finally {
    await sequelize.close();
  }
})();

After executing the above code, using \d[S+] NAME of psql cli find the information on columns of SomeEntities relation:

node-sequelize-examples=# \d "SomeEntities"
                             Table "public.SomeEntities"
   Column    |  Type   |                          Modifiers
-------------+---------+-------------------------------------------------------------
 id          | integer | not null default nextval('"SomeEntities_id_seq"'::regclass)
 client_data | text    | not null
Indexes:
    "SomeEntities_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id)

The data type of client_data column is text as exepcted.

The execution debug message:

{ POSTGRES_HOST: '127.0.0.1',
  POSTGRES_PORT: '5430',
  POSTGRES_PASSWORD: 'testpass',
  POSTGRES_USER: 'testuser',
  POSTGRES_DB: 'node-sequelize-examples' }
Executing (default): DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "SomeEntities" CASCADE;
Executing (default): DROP TABLE IF EXISTS "SomeEntities" CASCADE;
