Typescript Import Problem after updating Deno

Question

I recently update deno from v1.3.0 to v1.4.0. Before updating, my code doesn't have any problem, but after that i have this error:

error: TS1205 [ERROR]: Re-exporting a type when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided requires using 'export type'.

I found a page that fix this problem, but this error looks like it's coming from third party library. I also use Denon to run the script. Here is my imported package:

import { Application } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";
import { oakCors } from "https://deno.land/x/cors/mod.ts";
import { Router } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";
import { RouterContext } from "https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts";
import * as bcrypt from "https://deno.land/x/bcrypt/mod.ts";
import { SmtpClient } from "https://deno.land/x/smtp/mod.ts";
import { MongoClient } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

And this is my denon.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://deno.land/x/denon/schema.json",
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run --unstable server.ts",
      "allow": [
        "net",
        "write",
        "read",
        "plugin"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Is there a way to fix this? or a way to downgrade Deno?

Which OS you are working on? – Dabbs

I'm working with Windows – Riant

downgrade deno version to 1.3.3 – Turn

Answer 1

Setting tsconfig like this will solve the problem

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "importsNotUsedAsValues": "remove",
    "isolatedModules": false,
  }
}

Answer 2

There was an unstable feature added in Deno v1.4.0. https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/7413. A similar issue was here https://github.com/Jozty/Fae/issues/32 This will be fixed by the library writers or you can raise PR with a fix. A temporary fix is to downgrade Deno to v1.3.0

Answer 3

Or you could just do import type instead of just import where necessary.

Answer 4

As you asked, if you want to downgrade, you can do as

With Shell:

curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh -s v1.3.0

With Scoop:

scoop install [email protected]

Or you can check for a different environment here.

Answer 5

The DevLoverUmar's solution to downgrade did'nt work for me, but this one did :

deno upgrade --version 1.3.0

Answer 6

The TS1205 "Re-exporting a type..." check is now included in Deno 1.5 by default.

This section of the release notes has more instructions on how to update affected code or turn it off.
