JupyterLab Extension blueprintjs/core type issue after npm install

  1. Made a JLab extension and saved to Git.
  2. Created new environment and pulling it works. Confirmed it worked for a friend too.
  3. Then just added a new react object to it and saved back to Git in a new branch.
  4. Next creating yet a new environment and pulling that code returns the following blueprintjs/core issue after npm update and npm installing.
  5. Then on a 3rd new environment, running the original code without the react object now also returns the same issues despite it being clean.

NOTE - I don't use any method from blueprintjs/core but it gets npm installed automatically to make a JupyterLab extension to my knowledge, so not sure why this is happening. I tried running older versions of NPM, newer versions of @jupyterlab packages, a specific older version of @blueprintjs/core, and nothing seems to work. Please advise.

Version of Jupyter I'm running @jupyterlab/application=^3.0.0, @jupyterlab/settingregistry=^3.0.0, and @jupyerlab/notebook=^3.0.0 and typescript=~3.7.5.

Was expected it to npm install correctly so I could then build and install my extension locally.

Solution

  • Problem was that my version of typescript was obsolete. Was using ~3.7 and this version of blueprintjs/core needs 3.8+
