Cannot find type definition file for 'cron'

[ngocduy96]

I'm having trouble running my nestjs application when I get this error.
error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'cron'.
The file is in the program because:
Entry point for implicit type library 'cron'
I installed cron using npm install cron but still get this error.
I tried more
"typeRoots": [
"./node_modules/@types"
]
Go to the tsconfig.json file but still get the above error.
Pls help me. Thanks

Hello, please provide us with more information about the installed packages and their versions.
Which version of cron are you using? Are you trying to use it with @types/cron?

I have* cron 3.1.1* installed I tried installing ***@***.***/cron 2.4.0* and got the message: "This is a stub types definition. cron provides its own type definitions, so you do not need this installed" Despite installing *cron *or ***@***.***/cron* I still get the error *error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'cron'.* * The file is in the program because:* * Entry point for implicit type library 'cron' when running nestjs application* I tried deleting the node_modules and package-lock.json folders and running the npm install command again but still no success. This error occurs on Windows OS. Not on macOS. Vào CN, 15 thg 10, 2023 vào lúc 19:21 Pierre Cavin < ***@***.***> đã viết:

You need to remove @types/cron, we shop types with the package since 2.4.0.

Yes of course I did that. I tried upgrading typescript to the latest version but could not fix this error. I think there's something wrong with my computer's typescript compiler. I tried searching for this error but it seems no one has encountered it Vào CN, 15 thg 10, 2023 vào lúc 23:46 Pierre Cavin < ***@***.***> đã viết:

that image isn't showing up for me. if you're using email to reply to discussions some text is being lost in the process. try looking at the conversation directly on GitHub.com. also if you use plain text instead of screenshots your error messages will be easier to search and more useful for future visitors

You should either upgrade cron to >=2.4.4 or install @types/cron pinned to 2.0.1 (which is the latest version before it was replaced by a stub). We recommend upgrading cron since we started shipping the types with the package in 2.4.0!
If you are using cron@>=2.4.4, remember to remove @types/cron from your dev dependencies 😉
