Typescript Build Error

Describe the bug
When building application that uses hazelcast-client with Typescript compiler the following error is thrown:

Hi I did not get a compilation error with this code:

import {Client} from "hazelcast-client";

async function main() {
    const client = await Client.newHazelcastClient();
    const aMap = await client.getMap("a");
    await aMap.addEntryListener({
        added: (entryEvent) => {
            console.log(entryEvent)
        }
    })
    await client.shutdown();
}

main().catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
    process.exit(1);
});

with exactly your setup except I am on linux. But I see some errors in the IDE in type definition file EntryListener.d.ts:

Recently we fixed this issue in #1294 as a fix to another issue. So, it will be in the next release. I think we should release a patch version for this fix. Let me try to plan it as well.

[marinrusu1997]

Interesting part is that I didn't even used addEntryListener API, nor this interface ...
A patch would be definitively helpful, because build on CI is failing.

On my local machine I applied the following hot fix and the build succeeds:

[event: string]: EntryEventListener<K, V> | MapEventListener<K, V> | undefined;

You may get away from the error for now by setting skipLibCheck to true as mentioned in #1286 (comment)

[marinrusu1997]

Ok. Thank you.

[srknzl]

I got an error as well. I was using npx tsc index.ts therefore not getting an error. npx tsc lead to an error for me as well. Even with simple script like this:

import {Client} from "hazelcast-client";

console.log(Client);

So I am able to reproduce your problem now.

The issue is fixed. Next release will include it. (a release from maintenance branches or master)
