lstat is not a function

Code:

if (!(await fs.pathExists(somePath) || (await fs.lstat(somePath)).isDirectory()) {
 ...
}
// Somehow, it doesn't complain that error when you remove await, but it makes much more errors, BTW, this is in TypeScript.

Error:

TypeError: fs.lstat is not a function
 at [redacted] // from my project

You have your parenthesis misplaced; you want to (await fs.lstat(somePath)).isDirectory(), since isDirectory() is a method of the resolved value of the promise.

even with parenthesis fixed, it still errors nvm im dumb

[ghost]

wait, i'm not dumb, fse.lstat just doesn't exist in fs-extra, i just replaced fse with fs

[RyanZim]

fs-extra definitely does support lstat; so I'm not sure why you're getting an error.

I am unable to reproduce this, so not sure I can do anything here. If someone comes up with a way to reproduce or a fix, please post here. However, I strongly suspect this is some obscure bug in consumer code.
