How do I fix a rebuild TypeScript Error @types/node

Question

Having an issue with a local repo on rebuild. I set up the solution on our server, pushed it to Azure DevOps, pulled it to local, did my npm install, rebuilt and I get a typescript error. My co-worker does not have the same issue, the repo works fine for her. However I also installed the same repo on a blank laptop with the same issue as I am having.

I'm using VS 2022 just like on the server and all the packages and such are the same.

Here's the github repo I installed https://github.com/HBSTech/Kentico13CoreBaseline

Here's the errors from output:

========== Rebuild All: 3 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

What I've tried: I made sure TypeScript version and the @types/node version were compatible per this I am getting an ERROR when compiling Angular 6 project

I've tried upgrading, downgrading and all sorts of other combos for TS & node. Also made sure VS 2022 is up to date as well as windows. I've copied the exact, working repo from the server directly onto my local, rebuilt and got the same error. I'm sure there is some more stuff I cannot currently think of.

Lastly should be noted this is my first bout with TS and these types of errors so forgive me if there's any dumb questions or assumptions on my part. Thank you.

Answer 1

You could try this:

1. Delete your package-lock.json file.
2. Delete node_modules folder.

Then do npm i --force

Answer 2

After a lot of headaches, I found this warning (probably should've started there), but now everything seems to be happy after installing the said package. Strangely on the original install, this was not required.
