🕗 Version & Regression Information

It's from v4.7.2. It was OK in v4.6.4. And also, lib.dom.d.ts is fine.

💻 Code

    const controller = new AbortController();
    const cancel = (): void => controller.abort();

🙁 Actual behavior

src/core.ts:99:42 - error TS2339: Property 'abort' does not exist on type 'AbortController'.

99     const cancel = (): void => controller.abort();
                                             ~~~~~

🙂 Expected behavior

The correct behavior is that even in a worker can compile correctly.

Discussion about when this was first removed can be found in #49283 and #47507

It impacts me on service worker project where "lib": ["es6", "WebWorker"], only in tsconfig and compiling with tsc gives the error. Strangely VS Code is OK, probably because it has correct definition from DOM types?

Sorry, but is anything going to be done about this? It does seem a bit like throwing the baby out with the bathwater to just remove it. It is a bit impactful to leave it like this. Just looking for some clarification on the plans, since this issue is still in open status

this is my project configuration:

// node/tsconfig.json
{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "CommonJS",
        "moduleResolution": "Node",
        "target": "ES2020",
        "lib": ["ES2020"],
        "rootDir": "src",
        "outDir": "out",
        "strict": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "sourceMap": true
    },
    "include": ["**/*.ts"]
}

// browser/tsconfig.json
{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "ES2020",
        "moduleResolution": "Node",
        "target": "ES2020",
        "lib": ["ES2020", "WebWorker"],
        "rootDir": "src",
        "outDir": "out",
        "types": [],
        "strict": true,
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "sourceMap": true
    },
    "include": ["**/*.ts"]
}

you can set types to [] to exclude @types/node, so there is no need to remove AbortController.abort from lib.webworker.d.ts

I've confirmed that the latest 4.9.3 fixes this issue. 👍
