Error passing in ioredis v5 instance to connection

[JClackett]

The new ioredis package bundles its own TS types now and when passing in the redis instance to the connection of the Queue I get:

Type 'Redis' is not assignable to type 'ConnectionOptions | undefined'.
  Type 'Redis' is missing the following properties from type 'Cluster': nodes, rpushBuffer, lpushBuffer, hsetBuffer, and 2 more.ts(2322)

Investigating I see that the connection property is expecting a Redis type based off the @types/ioredis package, and it doesn't seem to match the with the new one.

bullmq v1.78.1
ioredis v5.0.2

Reverting to old ioredis fixed ts issue

Can you provide a complete code snippet that reproduces the error?

[JClackett]

There must have been some issue with may node_modules as a fresh install stopped the errors!

This seems to become an issue when you have dependencies installed which bring in @types/ioredis- in my case @types/connect-redis. This makes the TypeScript compiler pick up those types which probably clash with the now built-in types of ioredis >= 5.

makes sense. ioredis 5 is quite new though, it may be safer to keep using the v4 until v5 gets more mature.
