Module '"dns"' has no exported member 'promises'

[douglas-mason]

I've added got to my project which has cacheable-lookup as a dependency. I can't compile the TypeScript project as I get the following error.

node_modules/cacheable-lookup/index.d.ts(1,34): error TS2305: Module '"dns"' has no exported member 'promises'.

If I remove promises as dnsPromises from the first line of index.d.ts then I can compile the project.
import {Resolver, LookupAddress, promises as dnsPromises} from 'dns';

thanks!

TypeScript: 3.8.3
Node: 14.0.0
cacheable-lookup: 4.1.2

I haven't tested Node.js 14.0.0 yet

[douglas-mason]

I also tested 12.4 and 12.6.

It surely works on Node.js 10, 12 and 13: https://github.com/szmarczak/cacheable-lookup/runs/612593859

I'm sorry, it looks like my project's type definitions for node were out of sync. Thank you for your time. Issue can be closed.

@douglas-mason Can you share how you updated @types/node to fix this?

 ERROR  Failed to compile with 1 errors                                                                                                                                        10:29:15 PM

This dependency was not found:

* dns in ./node_modules/cacheable-lookup/source/index.js

To install it, you can run: npm install --save dns

I've added "@types/node": "14.0.22" and I don't want to install the dns package from npm since it has security issues. Am I to understand that dns should be built-in somehow? It's not listed as a dependency of this project, even though it's being required.

This is my tree

└─┬ got@11.5.0
  └── cacheable-lookup@5.0.3

rm -rf node_modules && npm install usually does the trick. The dns module is a native one, which means you don't have to install that.
