I just send pull request #10417 i think that will fix your problem

[SFVII]

For the moment try to use this npm install --save sfvii/mongoose

[ekow-mensah]

I tried using this i.e. "npm install --save sfvii/mongoose " and still ran into the same issue

[nickjtch]

@SFVII thank you for this! It didn't work for me either.

Any updates regarding this issue?

[Markkop]

npm install --save sfvii/mongoose didn't work for me too. Is there any other possible workaround?

[nickjtch]

Tried downgrading to previous versions. Still doesn't help.

Think explicitly adding @types/node should work as a temp workaround. npm i --save-dev @types/node@^14.0.0.

yes this works! thanks @geordle

Fix is in 726ce8b.

As a workaround, add @types/node: "15.x" to your dependencies in package.json. See DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#53669.

[SFVII]

Just put @types/node: "15.x" on last line of depencies of your package.json that will override the other. But be sure that is placed on the last line. If you want to use npm install --save sfvii/mongoose samethink on last line

thanks, it works

[SubJunk]

Can someone please clarify whether this is a problem with just that types project, or is mongoose incompatible with Node 16?

[vkarpov15]

@SubJunk the issue is with the types project, they introduced a sizable breaking change that has nothing to do with the Node.js runtime. Mongoose supports Node v16.

[SubJunk]

@vkarpov15 thanks for clarifying

[SerhiiShkv]

Still the same problem with node: "16.x" versions
