TypeScript errors TS4023, TS4094

[bobgubko]

I recently upgraded to the latest epxress-zod-api version from 9.*, adjusted the codebase and at the end got a bunch of TS4023, TS4094 errors. I know I'm not the first one to open this issue and I know that you recommend to disable declarations in tsconfig.json:

If facing Typescript errors TS4023 or TS4094, ensure disabling declaration option in your tsconfig.json.

However in my case declarations cannot be disabled. Is there a way to make it work with declarations enabled or my only option is to stay on 9.* version?

Could you please provide the complete text of the error messages, @bobgubko ?

No, I can fix it by exposing the types needed for you to keep the declarations, but I need to know which ones are missing.
For that I'd like to ask you to provide the complete error messages so I could help you, @bobgubko

Here are the errors I'm getting:

Isn't it easier to simply export all types used in the library so there's no need to worry about those errors?

[RobinTail]

Thank you for elaborating, @bobgubko .

I'm trying to be careful with what I export, because making backwards incompatible changes to the exposed entities is a breaking change requiring next major version according to SemVer.

TS4023

Ok. This is clear how to fix, exactly by exposing those types.

TS4094

This is weird. Need to do a research.

[RobinTail]

What is your version of Typescript, @bobgubko ?

Question withdrawn.
I think I found a way to fix TS4094.

[RobinTail]

Dear @bobgubko ,

could you please try version 12.1.0-beta2 and tell me if it fixes the issue?

[bobgubko]

It did fix the issue! 0 errors during build.

[RobinTail]

Awesome, thank you for letting me know.
I'm going to release it then, @bobgubko

[alindsay55661]

I am getting the same error for a different type (Metadata):

error TS4023: Exported variable '[...]' has or is using name Metadata from external module '[...]node_modules/.pnpm/express-zod-api@14.0.0_@types+express@4.17.20_@types+http-errors@2.0.3_@types+node@20.8.7_exp_ul3mzpgqwyhnfja3iatztge55q/node_modules/express-zod-api/dist/index' but cannot be named.

[RobinTail]

You should have created an issue for that, @alindsay55661 .
I may have not noticed your comment.

[RobinTail]

Fixed in version 14.0.3, @alindsay55661
