Current behavior

Problem

When using the following dependencies in a project:

• inversify-express-utils version: 6.4.8
• inversify version: 6.1.6

The build process fails with the following error:

node_modules/inversify-express-utils/lib/decorators.d.ts:3:57 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'inversify/lib/annotation/decorator_utils' or its corresponding type declarations.

export declare const injectHttpContext: (target: import("inversify/lib/annotation/decorator_utils").DecoratorTarget, targetKey?: string | symbol, indexOrPropertyDescriptor?: number | TypedPropertyDescriptor<unknown> | undefined) => void;`

Cause

The error occurs because the file path inversify/lib/annotation/decorator_utils does not exist in the inversify package version 6.1.6. It appears that this path was removed or refactored in recent versions of inversify, which causes inversify-express-utils to reference a non-existent file.

Steps to reproduce

1. Adding inversify 6.1.6 as dependency
2. Adding inversify-express-utils 6.4.8 as dependency
3. yarn build

Expected behavior

The project should build without errors when compatible versions of inversify and inversify-express-utils are used.

Got the issue. This is due to a problem in inversify-express-utils generated types. On my way to patch it 😃.

inversify-express-utils@6.4.9 has been released fixing this issue. If the issue persists just ping me with a recreation code and I'll reopen it.
