TypeError: Cannot set property constructor of [object Object] which has only a getter

ttsc -b tsconfig.json Fails with TypeError During Compilation on Different Environments (Windows, WSL2, AWS EC2)

Current Behavior

Two users reported that running the boost deploy -e production command or the boost build command results in a TypeError during the TypeScript compilation step. The error manifests as "Cannot set property constructor of [object Object] which has only a getter". This happens in multiple environments (Windows, WSL2, and AWS EC2) and seems to be independent of the environment and versions used. The error log points to a line in the ttypescript package.

The error message is as follows:

[2023-09-09T21:06:46.813Z] [ChildProcessError] Project contains compilation errors:
[2023-09-09T21:06:46.813Z] Command failed: npm run build
...
TypeError: Cannot set property constructor of [object Object] which has only a getter
...

Expected behavior

The boost deploy -e production command and boost build command should successfully compile the TypeScript code and deploy/build the project without errors.

Possible Solution

The issue might be related to a mismatch between versions or some outdated dependencies, although this needs to be confirmed. Another possible issue could be some incompatibility within the TypeScript configuration or some third-party library.

Additional information

This report aggregates the experiences of multiple users from the Discord channel, verifying that this is not an isolated issue but one that affects multiple setups.

@javiertoledo haven't been able to reproduce the issue in macOS Ventura nor on a freshly created Github Codespace. All unit and integration tests have passed successfully.

Environment

• Booster version: 1.18.1 (can be checked with boost version)
• Node/npm version: Node 16.20.2, ttypescript 1.5.13, typescript 4.7.4 (affected versions)
• OS: Windows, WSL2, AWS EC2
