issue with @types/ws?

[thepixelmonk]

node_modules/@types/ws/index.d.ts(179,24): error TS2694: Namespace '"net"' has no exported member 'AddressInfo'.

any ideas?

I found that to the latest type definitions for node fixed this problem:

npm install @types/node

[thepixelmonk]

yup! thx.

This means that these types are only compatible with @types/node@10, which is what currently gets installed when you use @types/node. I can find no information on ws that says it is not compatible with node <10, why was a dependency on node 10 taken for the types?

Closest thing I can find is that version 5.0.0 of ws dropped support for node < 4.5.0 (in this release: https://github.com/websockets/ws/releases/tag/5.0.0), so these type definitions for 5.x should be working with everything above that.

I'm trying to use these types on node @6.12 and they're not working.

I just downgraded @types/node from ^10.x to 9.3.0 (the version of Node I am pinned to) to mitigate this issue (which is actually not an Angular issue, btw) and am now experiencing this issue.

@kyledetella a pull request has been submitted and should be completed in the next week or so.

In the meantime you can add the following code to an empty .d.ts file in your project to get it to compile

declare module 'net' {
    export interface AddressInfo {} 
} 

Writing on phone - sorry for mistakes.

Thanks @Griffork. That did the trick!

Looks like the fix has been merged. I haven't tested it yet though.
