[BUG] TypeScript error - Cannot find module '@adiwajshing/baileys' or its corresponding type declarations.

[allburov]

Describe the bug On the import line it gives me an error - Cannot find module '@adiwajshing/baileys' or its corresponding type declarations.

import makeWASocket, {DisconnectReason, makeInMemoryStore, isJidGroup, useMultiFileAuthState} from '@adiwajshing/baileys'

The same line worked fine with the previous repo, adiwajshing/baileys

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the library as dependency in TS project - yarn add github:WhiskeySockets/Baileys
2. Run npm run build (I'm using nest for that)
3. Observe the error.

Expected behavior It works :)

Environment (please complete the following information):

• node 18
• yarn 1.22
• typescript 4.7.4
• What else could help here?

Additional context The same code with adiwajshing/baileys dependency from node_modules works fine. No changes made.

If I suppress it with // @ts-ignore it shows

Error: Cannot find module '/home/allburov/git/project/node_modules/@adiwajshing/baileys/lib/index.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

uses npm, using yarn you need to run tsc manually.

I am facing the same error after tweaking for this git.

npm i https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys --force

It'd be good if I can use npm instead of yarn, but it doesn't seem possible - npm gives me too much errors and with yarn project (the rest) works perfectly :(

For now I cloned the git repo, installed, compiled and added it to my package with yarn add file:../Baileys :+1:

I hope you'll be able to deploy the library in https://www.npmjs.com/ soon!

[exallhost]

npm i https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys --force

I was unsuccessful in the attempt.

OK, do the following.

1- delete the node modules

2- delete the package.lock

3- run -> yarn install.

4 - verify https ->"@adiwajshing/baileys": https://github.com/WhiskeySockets/Baileys

5- clear npm cache

I had the same error, when I did that it started working again and recognizing normally

What is "verify https" meant? What is that?

[Marcoant007]

I meant that it is necessary in dependencies of package.json that have https to reference the repository.

well... that's what worked for me.

You need to also tsc manually in npm

I have this same issue too

I just trying to change the import path and show this error

import makeWASocket from './Socket'
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

    at wrapSafe (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1055:15)

There's my script

import makeWASocket, { DisconnectReason, UserFacingSocketConfig } from '@adiwajshing/baileys/src'
import { Boom } from '@hapi/boom'

async function connectToWhatsApp () {
    const sock = makeWASocket({
        // can provide additional config here
        printQRInTerminal: true
    } as UserFacingSocketConfig)
    sock.ev.on('connection.update', (update: any) => {
        const { connection, lastDisconnect } = update
        if(connection === 'close') {
            const shouldReconnect = (lastDisconnect.error as Boom)?.output?.statusCode !== DisconnectReason.loggedOut
            console.log('connection closed due to ', lastDisconnect.error, ', reconnecting ', shouldReconnect)
            // reconnect if not logged out
            if(shouldReconnect) {
                connectToWhatsApp()
            }
        } else if(connection === 'open') {
            console.log('opened connection')
        }
    })
    sock.ev.on('messages.upsert', async (m: any) => {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(m, undefined, 2))

        console.log('replying to', m.messages[0].key.remoteJid)
        await sock.sendMessage(m.messages[0].key.remoteJid!, { text: 'Hello there!' })
    })
}
// run in main file
connectToWhatsApp()

I had the same problem, I just cleared the cache and it worked

yarn cache clean

Now you can install using npm install @whiskeysockets/baileys or yarn add @whiskeysockets/baileys - https://whiskeysockets.github.io/docs/intro

You can use the git version using NPM or Yarn V2, the Yarn v1 (classic) will not work.

You can use the git version using NPM or Yarn V2, the Yarn v1 (classic) will not work.

For those who (as me) didn't know about that - you must run the command below to set V2 mode

yarn set version berry

after that yarn add github:WhiskeySockets/Baileys works fine!
