Definitelytyped: @types/connect typescript compiler broken with latest update (@types/[email protected])

[siraajahmed]

The latest typings for @types/connect package has broken typescript compiler.

The error:

node_modules/@types/connect/index.d.ts(21,42): error TS2689: 
Cannot extend an interface 'http.IncomingMessage'. 
Did you mean 'implements'?

The issue is with the following code highlighted in my comment in this PR:
https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/40776/files#diff-f3bffe5c90f627fc47cb16ad4369b62eR21

Problem is in @types/[email protected].

I also have the same issue too

Can we fix this ASAP

Thanks

Same issue. What version was this developed against?

Thank you!

[siraajahmed]

Turns out we were using an older version of node @types where http.IncomingMessage was an interface. Upgrading node @types has fixed this issue.

May I know how did we resolve? I tried updating the @types/ connect andnode to latest still its failing for me. any help is much appreciated.

[Michael-Stock]

We just updated to the latest version of node typings we use node 10 so that worked fine

Then it worked as the types were now correct

thank you @Michael-Stock , i have the node version of v10.17.0 and npm 6.13.4 and @type/node :6.0.78 and still i have the issues.

Can you please share your version details.

[Michael-Stock]

I think your node @types are out of date you need 10.x version

I can't find out until I go to work tomorrow the exact version we are using

[cah-tulasi-chaganti]

@Michael-Stock thank you for the help.

[Michael-Stock]

Just for reference we are now using node @types 10.17.2 and that fixed it

Previously we were using a 6.x version and we got that error

No problems :)

npm i @types/node@latest helped me.
