Unknown object type error

[marcelgoya]

Hello,

I am trying to run this plugin with our LiveKit app. Unfortunately, I am getting some weird unknown object type error messages.

Below the console output:

Error: node_modules/@types/dom-webcodecs/webcodecs.generated.d.ts:13:11 - error TS2304: Cannot find name 'AllowSharedBufferSource'.

Any help or pointing me into the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

what typescript version are you using? How are you installing the plugin and which bundler are you using?

[marcelgoya]

I am using typescript version 5.1.6 and I am running it via

npm i @track-processors-js

because I am not using yarn. It's an angular/ionic project and it is using webpack.

[marcelgoya]

I've just created an app with the Ionic cli from scratch and simply added the plugin via npm and yarn but the error messages keep appearing.

[lukasIO]

It definitely looks like something is complaining about a mismatch of type definitions (or the lack thereof). Is there anything else in the console output? Does it work as expected for you on a vanilla-ts project?

[marcelgoya]

I was using a vanilla Ionic template and it produced the same result.

[lukasIO]

without ionic, I mean!
