Description

After updating my Azure function packages, started getting TSC build errors. First noticed this on function I had changed but getting same error on different function that was not changed. Looks like a regression in JS build.

I can confirm that adding @azure/identity reference to package.json and downgrading version from 4.7.0 to 4.6.0 resolves the issue.

[KarishmaGhiya]

@pragmatta Identity package takes a dependency on msal-node. The build errors you see are coming from msal-node. If you downgrade version of identity package, you are also downgrading msal-node version to v2

Two things I needed to do:

First enable esModuleInterop in tsconfig.json. This will also enable allowSyntheticDefaultImports.

After this, ensure that your typescript dev dependency in your package.json is up to date. I am using 5.8.3 as we speak. Doesn't hurt to upgrade your global typescript either npm install -g typescript.

No need to downgrade anything.

This is still an issue with the current repo.

I made the above changes suggested by codepic in the ElectronTestApp folder and it worked. Specifically, typescript 5.2.2 in package.json devDependencies and esModuleInterop: true in tsconfig.json.

EDIT: Here are my package versions that worked -
"devDependencies": {
"babel": "^6.23.0",
"electron": "^33.2.1",
"typescript": "^5.2.2"
},
"dependencies": {
"@azure/msal-node": "^3.8.0",
"axios": "^1.9.0"
}
