[BUG] This expression is not constructable.

[gipo355]

Hello! Currently running ioredis 5.3.2 and having this exact error coming up as #1632.

On the same environment type, esm.

Tried the suggested solutions {default as Redis} but the problem persists.

Is there something i missed?

// code
import { default as Redis } from 'ioredis';

import { SECRETS } from '../../environment.js';

export const redisConnection = new Redis(SECRETS.REDIS_URL);
// ERROR: This expression is not constructable.
// Type 'typeof import("/pathtorepo/node_modules/.pnpm/ioredis@5.3.2/node_modules/ioredis/built/index")' has no construct signatures.ts(2351)
