Issue with Redis module export after reinstalling node_modules

Overview

After deleting th node_modules directory and reinstalling it using npm i --force, I encountered an issue with the Redis module in @nestjs-modules/ioredis. The specific error is as follows:

src/redis-cache/redis-cache.service.ts:2:23 - error TS2305: Module '"@nestjs-modules/ioredis"' has no exported member 'Redis'.

2 import { InjectRedis, Redis } from "@nestjs-modules/ioredis";
                        ~~~~~

Steps to Reproduce

1. Delete node_modules directory.
2. Run npm i --force to reinstall dependencies.
3. Attempt to run the NestJS project.

Expected Behavior

I expected the project to run successfully without any issues related to the @nestjs-modules/ioredis module.

Current Behavior

The project fails to compile with the mentioned TypeScript error regarding the missing exported member 'Redis' in @nestjs-modules/ioredis.

Environment

• Operating System: [e.g., Windows 10, macOS, Linux]
• Node.js version: [v18.18.2]
• NPM version: [9.8.1]

@nestjs-modules/ioredis version

• "@nestjs-modules/ioredis": "^1.0.1",
• "redis": "^3.1.1",

Code Changes in node_modules redis.interface.d.ts

Before delete node modules (file node_modules/@nestjs-modules/ioredis/dist/redis.interface.d.ts)

import { ModuleMetadata, Type } from '@nestjs/common/interfaces';
import * as Redis from 'ioredis';
export declare type Redis = Redis.Redis;
export interface RedisModuleOptions {
    config: Redis.RedisOptions & {
        url?: string;
    };
}
export interface RedisModuleOptionsFactory {
    createRedisModuleOptions(): Promise<RedisModuleOptions> | RedisModuleOptions;
}
export interface RedisModuleAsyncOptions extends Pick<ModuleMetadata, 'imports'> {
    inject?: any[];
    useClass?: Type<RedisModuleOptionsFactory>;
    useExisting?: Type<RedisModuleOptionsFactory>;
    useFactory?: (...args: any[]) => Promise<RedisModuleOptions> | RedisModuleOptions;
}

After install node modules (file node_modules/@nestjs-modules/ioredis/dist/redis.interface.d.ts)

import { ModuleMetadata, Type } from '@nestjs/common/interfaces';
import { RedisOptions } from 'ioredis';
export interface RedisModuleOptions {
    config: RedisOptions & {
        url?: string;
    };
}
export interface RedisModuleOptionsFactory {
    createRedisModuleOptions(): Promise<RedisModuleOptions> | RedisModuleOptions;
}
export interface RedisModuleAsyncOptions extends Pick<ModuleMetadata, 'imports'> {
    inject?: any[];
    useClass?: Type<RedisModuleOptionsFactory>;
    useExisting?: Type<RedisModuleOptionsFactory>;
    useFactory?: (...args: any[]) => Promise<RedisModuleOptions> | RedisModuleOptions;
}

Additional Information

• The issue seems to be related to changes in the redis.interface.d.ts file within @nestjs-modules/ioredis after a fresh installation.
• The issue persists even though there was no explicit version update for @nestjs-modules/ioredis.

I prefer not to update the version of @nestjs-modules/ioredis but seek guidance on resolving the issue without a version change.

Now you must use it in this way, note that Redis is imported from the 'ioredis' library.

@juandav thanks for response

I resolved this issue with remove ^ sign from version number ("@nestjs-modules/ioredis": "^1.0.1", -------> "@nestjs-modules/ioredis": "1.0.1").

[juandav]

@anassarfraz Although you could use the new version of @nestjs-modules/ioredis, version 2.0.1.

@juandav yes i used newer version but i got more errors because my nestjs Version 7.0.0 new i am shifting my project to updated packages. thanks
