Argument of type 'this' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Construct'.

It looks like the constructs packages is outdated and I am getting the type conflicts with the latest version.

My project:

    "constructs": "10.1.28",

Argument of type 'this' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Construct'.

Argument of type 'this' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Construct'.
  Type 'AWSBootstrapKitLandingZoneStage' is not assignable to type 'Construct'.
    Types of property 'node' are incompatible.
      Type 'import(".../node_modules/constructs/lib/construct").Node' is not assignable to type 'import(".../node_modules/aws-bootstrap-kit/node_modules/constructs/lib/construct").Node'.
        Types have separate declarations of a private property 'host'.

That is weird, you should be able to use whatever version since we added ^ in peer deps: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-bootstrap-kit/pull/77/files

Yeah, I thought that was odd as well.

Wait, the dependencies value is still fixed though!

https://github.com/awslabs/aws-bootstrap-kit/blob/cfaf3f699bb76d29d31311b2f72307866352a92e/source/aws-bootstrap-kit/package.json#L58-L65

You can solve this by adding the following block to your package.json :

"overrides": {
      "aws-bootstrap-kit": {
        "aws-cdk-lib": "2.27.0",
        "constructs": "10.1.31"
      }
    }

and make sure to pin prettier types in your dev deps (https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/20319)

"@types/prettier": "2.6.0"

Ok, this worked. But this requires npm@8. This may not affect many people, but still good to know.

Another pro tip, it is possible to use references to the package versions you already have installed:

  "overrides": {
    "aws-cdk-lib": "$aws-cdk-lib",
    "constructs": "$constructs"
  }
