Import declaration conflicts with local declaration of 'fs'

[raphael10-collab]

I'm getting this error:

Import declaration conflicts with local declaration of 'fs'

in main :

import fs from 'fs-extra'

fs.ensureDir(settingsUserDataFolder, err => {
  console.log(err)
})

If I comment this part:

//fs.ensureDir(settingsUserDataFolder, err => {
  //console.log(err)
//})

the error disappears

With import fsExtra from 'fs-extra' I get the same error:

Import declaration conflicts with local declaration of 'fsExtra'

In webpack.main.config.js :

const fs = require('fs-extra')

module.exports = {
  // https://webpack.js.org/configuration/externals/#externalstypecommonjs
  externalsType: 'commonjs',
  externals: {
    'fs': 'fs-extra',
  }
};

ts.config.json :

  "display": "Node 16",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": true,
    "lib": ["es2021", "dom", "dom.iterable"], // https://www.e-learn.cn/topic/3468143

How to solve the issue?

You have a rather complicated setup, with a number of moving parts. We have TS, Webpack, & Electron. I'd suggest trying to create a reduced test case with the minimum number of moving parts. Try removing Webpack or Electron from the equation, and see if you still have a problem. Chances are, you'll uncover the source of the bug in the process.

Thank you @RyanZim for your kind suggestion. I will do it, and let you know

In the meanwhile, I'm using standard fs (node : v 18) without any issues

Assuming this is resolved.
