An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context.

[AdonousTech]

I am using @amazonpay/amazon-pay-alexa-utils in an Alexa skill built with TypeScript and receiving the error above for several d.ts files, when attempting to compile.

node_modules/@amazonpay/amazon-pay-alexa-utils/lib/checkout/AbstractDirectiveBuilder.d.ts:8:18 - error TS1086: An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context.

4     get eMail(): string;

Adding the following to the tsconfig.json allows the compilation to succeed (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60092642/ts1086-an-accessor-cannot-be-declared-in-ambient-context):

"compilerOptions": {
    "skipLibCheck": true
}

I can use the flag for now, but it would be great to have this issue resolved. Please let me know if more info is required.

Hi @AdonousTech,

thanks for flagging this and please excuse the delay in coming back to you. Can you confirm the version of TypeScript you are using?

Apologies for the delay @danielneu
