Could not find a declaration file for module 'files-from-path'

[talentlessguy]

Seems like package.json is incorrectly formatted

Could not find a declaration file for module 'files-from-path'. '/home/v1rtl/Coding/stauro/minicar/node_modules/files-from-path/esm/src/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  There are types at '/home/v1rtl/Coding/stauro/minicar/node_modules/files-from-path/types/index.d.ts', but this result could not be resolved when respecting package.json "exports". The 'files-from-path' library may need to update its package.json or typings.

exports must also have a types field:

This is also happening to me.

I am attempting to use this in a Docker Image with Typescript.

My package.json has "type": "module" and my tsconfig.json has "module": "NodeNext" to ensure compatibility with w3up

I was able to get past this compilation error by doing ts-ignore
// @ts-ignore *newline* import { getFilesFromPath } from 'files-from-path'
However, in that scenario I get the runtime error:
ERROR Uncaught Exception {"errorType":"Runtime.UserCodeSyntaxError","errorMessage":"SyntaxError: The requested module 'files-from-path' does not provide an export named 'getFilesFromPath'","stack":["Runtime.UserCodeSyntaxError: SyntaxError: The requested module 'files-from-path' does not provide an export named 'getFilesFromPath'"," at _loadUserApp (file:///var/runtime/index.mjs:1084:17)"," at async UserFunction.js.module.exports.load (file:///var/runtime/index.mjs:1119:21)"," at async start (file:///var/runtime/index.mjs:1282:23)"," at async file:///var/runtime/index.mjs:1288:1"]}

EDIT: it seems that getFilesFromPath was changed to filesFromPaths. I no longer get the runtime error with the updated function name.

@mpoletiek @talentlessguy I was able to solve this temporarily by adding // @ts-ignore above my import statement. It seems that this dependency does not have typescript set up properly. (there is a types folder but clearly it isn't connected or something)

🙏 Will try that.... At least I can hopefully run build.

Thanks, that worked for me.
