I can't install dext, what version of Deno do I need?

[tubone24]

I tried to install dext according to the instructions in the README, but I got an error.

Command

deno install --allow-read --allow-write --allow-env --allow-net --allow-run --unstable -f -n dext https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts

Error

Check https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/cli.ts
error: TS2339 [ERROR]: Property 'emit' does not exist on type 'typeof Deno'.

Found 2 errors.

My environment is as below.

> deno --version

deno 1.6.3 (release, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc)
v8 8.8.294
typescript 4.1.3

Is it due to the fact that the Deno version is too low?

I solved the problem myself.

v1.8.0 or later with Deno.emit support and GitHub Acitons I installed v1.8.0 or later, which supports Deno.emit, and v1.8.2, which is supported by GitHub Acitons' setup-deno, and it worked.

By the way, I upgraded the deno version to the latest 1.12.2 and ran the same command, but I still could not install it with the following error.

I was using an older version of Deno, v1.6.3, because it was necessary for Aleph.js requirements, but I felt it was necessary to include the Deno version in the README to avoid confusion for users.

According to my research, the suitable Deno version for dext.ts seems to be between v1.7.x and v1.9.x.

I've experimented with GitHub Acitons.

I believe this is a --no-check problem as noted in #76.

@baetheus

Thanks for replying. You're right, I was able to install the dext.ts without any problems on all Deno versions by adding --no-check.
