You have already researched for similar issues?

I searched for the problem and tried most solutions given without success.

What are you trying to achieve, or the steps to reproduce?

I followed the documentation for installing Fastify with Typescript but I keep getting the type error.

    "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.json",

  },

}

        "outDir": "./dist",
        "lib": ["es2018"],
        "target": "es2018"
    }

}

import fastify from 'fastify'

const server = fastify()

server.get('/ping', async (request, reply) => {
  return 'pong\n'
})

server.listen({ port: 8080 }, (err, address) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err)
    process.exit(1)
  }
  console.log(`Server listening at ${address}`)
})


server.listen({port: 3333})

What was the result you received?

Property 'get' does not exist on type 'FastifyInstance<Server<typeof IncomingMessage, typeof ServerResponse>, IncomingMessage, ServerResponse, FastifyBaseLogger, FastifyTypeProviderDefault> & PromiseLike<...> & { ...; }'.ts(2339)

What did you expect?

To not show the error

Context

• node version: 18.19.1
• fastify version: 5.2.1
• os: Ubuntu 24.04.1

I also tried inside Docker with node:23.1-bullseye and I get the same error.
