First ionic app: TypeScript error TS1005 on node module

Ionic Framework
1

I’ve just installed ionic and at the very first try to run “ionic serve” on an empty project I get this error:

TypeScript error in /node_modules/@types/testing-library__react/node_modules/pretty-format/build/index.d.ts(7,13): [react-scripts] ‘=’ expected. TS1005

I think is related to some version problem (any node specific version is needed?)… but some help will be welcome!

I have node v10.16.3

Solution: udpate typescript version on package.json (->3.8.3) and then run “ionic repair” to apply the change Thanks guys!!

@maxionionic I changed “typescript” to “3.8.3” in the package.json file. With this I was able to get ionic serve to work.

Same problem here. I’ve just install ionic cli and created a blank react app. As suggested, updating TS to 3.8.3 did the trick

Chiming in with a 3rd vote to update your Typescript to 3.8.3 to resolve this issue. Took a few minutes of a Google search to land here, and far less time to fix the issue.

Hi aaron,
I have already installed typescipt 3.8.3
But when I create a new project the package.json still shows the told version
{

“name”: “myProject”,

“version”: “0.0.1”,

“private”: true,

“dependencies”: {

"@ionic/react": "^5.0.0",

"@ionic/react-router": "^5.0.0",

"@testing-library/jest-dom": "^4.2.4",

"@testing-library/react": "^9.4.0",

"@testing-library/user-event": "^8.0.3",

"@types/jest": "^24.0.25",

"@types/node": "^12.12.24",

"@types/react": "^16.9.17",

"@types/react-dom": "^16.9.4",

"@types/react-router": "^5.1.4",

"@types/react-router-dom": "^5.1.3",

"ionicons": "^5.0.0",

"react": "^16.12.0",

"react-dom": "^16.12.0",

"react-router": "^5.1.2",

"react-router-dom": "^5.1.2",

"react-scripts": "3.4.0",

"typescript": "3.7.4"

}
if i change the typescipt here as 3.8.3 it still gives me the same error.

Can you guide me stepwise how to update the typescript ?

Thanks

@mtashrif after you updates the package.json, run the ‘npm install’ command in the myProject folder.
