Sp-dev-docs: Argument of type 'SPHttpClientConfiguration' is not assignable to parameter of type 'SPHttpClientConfiguration'

[BigEaseGueldi]

After upgrading to new SPFx versions, the error above appears for SPFx solutions with calls via the SPHttpClient.

Current framework version: 1.3.4

Expected or Desired Behavior

If you update the SPFx parts of your package.json and run an npm install, this error should not appear.

Observed Behavior

Each time I update the SPFx parts of package.json ...

• ... I need to delete the contents of my node-modules folder OR
• ... I need to delete only the node_modules subfolder of @microsoft/sp-webpart-base and this is the place where the other SPHttpClientConfiguration is (my current best approach).

Steps to Reproduce

See above.

Thanks for your help!

I'd say the need to refresh all dependencies in the node_modules folder (meaning, deleting the whole folder and running npm install) is by design: after all you can't quite tell which dependencies have changed and you need to refresh all of them to ensure that they are in sync.

Thanks @waldekmastykarz for your input! Though it somehow doesn't feel like the most sophisticated approach, I also found the instruction to delete the node_modules folder content here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/toolchain/update-latest-packages

So I'll just stick with the plan for now. -> Closed

@VesaJuvonen : Any chance for future improvement here? Think of guys with 15 SPFx solutions on their local machine (i.e. 15 x ~30.000 files). Especially with the future possibility to roll out SPFx things via the Site Collection App Catalog, I expect to see even more solutions with less Web Parts and/ or Extensions (i.e. only 1 per solution) and thus more efforts for keeping them up to date.

It's a trade off: having more smaller solutions gives you more deployment flexibility but requires more maintenance, not only for developers but also for administrators - just like you mentioned. Combining multiple components into a single solution simplifies the management but offers less flexibility with regards to which components should be deployed where. I don't think there is one approach that's the best and you will have to choose what makes sense for each scenario.

IMHO, no need to change that process... it's not uncommon with other projects that rely on package managers (Node.js & NPM or .NET & NuGet). From my POV, don't have a "special SharePoint case"...
