Research direction

The reported declaration is node-ssh/lib/typings/index.d.ts; start by checking its stream import under TypeScript 4.8.3 without esModuleInterop. Verify that the package type-checks and existing runtime usage still works without requiring consumers to enable esModuleInterop.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When compiling with typescript 4.8.3 (at this time latest version), I am getting this error:

node_modules/node-ssh/lib/typings/index.d.ts:2:8 - error TS1259: Module '"stream"' can only be default-imported using the 'esModuleInterop' flag

2 import stream from 'stream';
~~~~~~

node_modules/@types/node/stream.d.ts:333:5
333 export = internal;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This module is declared with 'export =', and can only be used with a default import when using the 'esModuleInterop' flag.

When setting esModuleInterop to true, typescript renders other used libraries properties with getters only e.g.:

prompt.message = '';
^

TypeError: Cannot set property message of # which has only a getter

Workaround: Editing file node_modules/node-ssh/lib/typings/index.d.ts so the line at the begining:
import stream from 'stream';to be:
import * as stream from 'stream';
solves issue for me without esModuleInterop flag set.

Can you please add this change in the next version?

Thank you in advance CJ
