Typings error TS2403: Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type.

[kspearrin]

Upgraded to Angular 7 w/ TypeScript 3.2.4 and am now getting the following whenever I compile:

import swal from 'sweetalert';

swal({ ... });

ERROR in node_modules/sweetalert/typings/sweetalert.d.ts(4,9): error TS2403: Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type. Variable 'swal' must be of type 'typeof import("C:/Projects/me/browser/node_modules/sweetalert/typings/sweetalert")', but here has type 'SweetAlert'.

If I edit node_modules/sweetalert/typings/sweetalert.d.ts from...

import swal, { SweetAlert } from "./core";

declare global {
  const swal: SweetAlert;
  const sweetAlert: SweetAlert;
}

export default swal;
export as namespace swal;

... to ...

import swal, { SweetAlert } from "./core";

export default swal;
export as namespace swal;

... it starts working.

Any ideas?

Same issue, same situation.

However, I noticed that just commenting out the line export as namespace swal; also lets it compile. I've been looking at the TypeScript changelogs for any clues...

same issue I used this solution but I don't think this solution is correct.

Same issue.

Also same issue. CI builds failing because of this.

I think this line have to removed:

I have this same issue when running under OpenBSD. Yes I know not a mainstream OS, but the version of TypeScript available makes anything with sweetalert unusable :(

@t4t5 Can you take a look on this issue?

Also experiencing this with Angular 7

[bogdan-calapod]

Any idea on a workaround apart from editing the definition file manually? It's becoming a bit of a hassle remembering to do that after every clone / npm install.

[DVGalarza]

@bogdan-calapod Here's what I have been doing as a workaround, so that our CI build doesn't fail:

1. Download Sweetalert minified script file here (right-click and Save link as sweetalert.min.js).
2. Place sweetalert.min.js in src/assets/scripts in Angular application.
3. Add src/assets/scripts/sweetalert.min.js to scripts entry in angular.json
4. In any components/services you want to use Sweetalert, add declare var swal: any; above the class declaration.
5. You can use Sweetalert anywhere in the file using global variable swal, i.e. return swal({...})
6. You can now remove Sweetalert NPM package since you are using local script file: npm uninstall sweetalert --save

Hi all,

Save yourself the effort and use sweetalert 2 https://sweetalert2.github.io/

[akvaliya]

Any updates with this issue?

Hi all,

Save yourself the effort and use sweetalert 2 https://sweetalert2.github.io/

This have support for 3 buttons or more?

@DVGalarza this workaround didn't worked for me. ReferenceError: "swal is not defined" is what i'm getting.

[DVGalarza]

@alvarofelipe12 In the file you are trying to use 'swal' in, did you add declare var swal: any; to the top of the file (below imports)? If so, also check that sweetalert.min.js is referenced properly in the 'scripts' section of angular.json.

Any ideas?

my alternative was to rename const swal to const _swal

import swal, { SweetAlert } from "./core";

declare global { const _swal: SweetAlert; const sweetAlert: SweetAlert; }

export default swal; export as namespace swal;

[bernard-ng]

hello !, same issue

[jjmerri]

I fixed this by overriding the sweetalert types. I added a file in the src dir named src/node_modules/sweetalert/index.d.ts

//this file is needed because the sweetalert typings need to be overwritten because they are broken
//the real fix here is to stop using sweetalert

declare global {
  const _swal: any;
  const sweetAlert: any;
}

export default _swal;
export as namespace swal;

[drmencos]

Solved it by changing this line:

import swal from 'sweetalert';

to:

const swal = require('sweetalert');

or (with the interface):

import { SweetAlert } from 'sweetalert/typings/core';
const swal: SweetAlert = require('sweetalert');

[airda2895]

I'm having the same issue in Angular 10. Yeah, the problem seems to be in sweetalert.d.ts as according to my IDE, there's an error, so I don't think it's a bad solution to comment it:

@drmencos Is that for Node.js? require doesn't work for me in Angular 10.

[DaniGo-1]

En el archivo: node_modules>sweetalert>typings>sweetalert.d.ts Comentar: const swal: SweetAlert;

import swal, { SweetAlert } from "./core";

declare global { //const swal: SweetAlert; const sweetAlert: SweetAlert; }

export default swal; export as namespace swal;

[eoussama]

changing import 'sweetalert' to require('sweetalert') worked for me.

Not fixed yet? any ideas?

Im trying to use environment variables and I fired the following commands: ng add @ngx-env/builder set "NG_APP_BASEURL=myexampleurl.com"

only to get this error, error TS2403: Build:Subsequent variable declarations must have the same type. Variable 'process' must be of type 'Process', but here has type '{ env: { NG_APP_ENV: string; NG_APP_BASEURL: string; }; }'.

the error is coming from my env.d.ts file. which looks like this, declare var process: { env: { NG_APP_ENV: string; NG_APP_BASEURL: string; }; };

[asika32764]

This works for me.

Create a shims-sweetalert.d.ts

import swal from "sweetalert/typings/core";

declare global {
  const swal: typeof swal;
  const sweetAlert: typeof swal;
}

export default swal;
export as namespace swal;
