[Godzil]

If you know how to fix the issue, make a pull request instead.

• [X] I tried using the @types/fs-extra package and had problems.
• [X] I tried using the latest stable version of tsc. https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript
  
  
  
  • Authors: @KSXGitHub
  
  

With Typescript 2.9.1

$ tsc -v
Version 2.9.1

Submission 80987f14289ed45458c4ef2bcad5ab8baaeae151 broke support of @types/fs-extra:

$ npm run compile

I already created https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/26381 to fix this issue. In the meantime, you can either pin your @types/fs-extra version or update @types/node.

@Roopa-Siddaveerappa As I said above, I created https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/26381 so this is no longer my concern. You should subscribe to said pull request if you want to hear any update.

Any update on the issue?
I downgraded to "@types/fs-extra": "5.0.1" to get around the issue.
