Cannot import goto in sveltekit

I am using a brand new installation of sveltekit "svelte": "^3.54.0", When I try to import goto with this code

import { goto } from "$app/navigation";

I get the following typescript error

Cannot find module '$app/navigation' or its corresponding type declarations. ts(2307)

I have nuked the node_modules and that didn't fix it.

it would be best if you guarded your goto with an if statement and make sure the if statement checks for the browser env variable. Try this code:

<script>
import {browser} from '$app/environment';
import {goto} from '$app/navigation';

$: {
   if(browser && SOME OTHER CONDITION){
   RUN YOUR CODE E.G: goto('/route')
   }
}

</script>

If you're not satisfied with this, then check out this ISSUE raised on GitHub, it worked for me: https://github.com/sveltejs/kit/discussions/3245

Those types are in the SvelteKit package @sveltejs/kit, specifically in @sveltejs/kit/types/ambient.d.ts. The types should be picked up automatically if the package is installed, as far as I know.

The tsconfig.json setup might also matter, it should have an extends entry:

{
    "extends": "./.svelte-kit/tsconfig.json",
    ...
}

Possibly run svelte-kit sync or start the dev server to make it setup the .svelte-kit directory.
