Typescript is mad

Making Packs
1

Went back to make some updates to an older CLI Pack, and now Typescript is mad about a bunch of things it wasn’t mad about before. (I don’t know Typescript very well, and at first it seemed like the compiler was cool with my sprinkle-types-in-some-places-but-not-everywhere approach, but now it’s complaining of things like

  • Unrecognized key(s) in object
  • null is not assignable to type ...
  • etc

Can I tell TS to chill out a bit with a config or something?

Hard to guess but those seem like the more core parts of the type checking system that are probably not configurable.

Just make everything any until it works :man_shrugging:

It’s a nuclear option, but you can disable all type checking in a file by including this line somewhere:

// @ts-nocheck

Alternatively, using @ts-ignore to just disable the checking on the following line.

let a = "abc";
// @ts-ignore
a = 123;

In most cases TypeScript is telling you something useful about how you could improve your code, but it doesn’t always do it in a way that’s easy to understand.

Thanks all!

Any idea why it would be finding so many issues after previously being ok with the same codebase?

(Like, it won’t compile/upload now, and it definitely did before, as evidenced by the existence of the published pack)

It’s a good question, and I don’t know for sure. How long ago did you last build the code? If it was during our beta we could have changed some settings since then.
