Ionic 4 - Property 'dataDirectory' does not exist on type 'File' error build android

Question

Has anyone seen this error Property 'dataDirectory' does not exist on type 'File'?

I imported that way in the file app.module.ts: import { File } from '@ionic-native/File/ngx'

And, in the component, I'm calling the File plugin just like that:

this.platform.ready().then(() => {
  let path = this.file.dataDirectory
  this.file.checkDir(path, MEDIA_FOLDER_NAME).then(() => {
    this.loadFiles()
  }, err => {
    this.file.createDir(path, MEDIA_FOLDER_NAME, false)
  })
})

Does anyone know how to resolve this error?

Thank you! :)
