@srkcode10 - could you please update spfx generator to the latest version (1.17.3) and try again?
If the error is still a repro - could you please run npn dedupe and see if that fixes it?

Thanks!

[timdhahn]

I'm also having the this same issue with spfx 1.16.1.

Updating to 1.17.3 resolves this eslint error. However, I don't recall seeing this error when I first scaffolded to test webparts in 1.16.1. Could something have introduced this issued in a transitive dependency?

[AJIXuMuK]

@timdhahn - yep, that is exactly what happened.
