6.4.1-6.4.5 Typescript error, ambivalent exports should be re-named

^{Originally posted by **kliehm** December 3, 2021} When I build with StencilJs 2.5.2 and Typescript 4.5.2, I get the following Typescript error: ``` [ ERROR ] TypeScript: ./node_modules/@storybook/client-api/dist/ts3.9/index.d.ts:4:1 Module './types' has already exported a member named 'RenderContext'. Consider explicitly re-exporting to resolve the ambiguity. L3: export * from './queryparams'; L4: export * from '@storybook/store'; L5: export { addArgsEnhancer, addArgTypesEnhancer, addDecorator, addLoader, addParameters, setGlobalRender, ClientApi, }; [ ERROR ] TypeScript: ./node_modules/@storybook/client-api/dist/ts3.9/index.d.ts:4:1 Module './types' has already exported a member named 'StorySpecifier'. Consider explicitly re-exporting to resolve the ambiguity. L3: export * from './queryparams'; L4: export * from '@storybook/store'; L5: export { addArgsEnhancer, addArgTypesEnhancer, addDecorator, addLoader, addParameters, setGlobalRender, ClientApi, }; ``` So `types.d.ts` has ``` export declare type StorySpecifier = StoryId | { name: StoryName; kind: StoryKind; } | '*'; export declare type RenderContext = RenderContextWithoutStoryContext & { storyContext: StoryContext; }; ``` while `index.d.ts` is ``` import { ClientApi, addDecorator, addParameters, addLoader, addArgsEnhancer, addArgTypesEnhancer, setGlobalRender } from './ClientApi'; export * from './types'; export * from './queryparams'; export * from '@storybook/store'; export { addArgsEnhancer, addArgTypesEnhancer, addDecorator, addLoader, addParameters, setGlobalRender, ClientApi, }; ``` If you look at `index.d.ts`, there is another import from `ClientApi`, whose members are explicitly exported by name, not by *. I think that's the way to go. Sidenote: It seems that Storybook only implemented Typescript 3.9, perhaps that's why the error didn't occur in your build yet. Also the error appeared with Storybook 6.4.1, it wasn't in 6.3.12.
