Setting a baseUrl in example app's .tsconfig causes an error in vscode

Question 💬

I want to set a typescript baseUrl so I can do imports relative to the package base instead of the current file, as described here: https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/module-path-aliases

How to reproduce ☕️

• Clone the example app
• Add "baseUrl": ".", to the .tsconfig.json file
• View [...nextauth].ts in vscode

It's now failing to import the types for NextAuth.

import NextAuth
This expression is not callable.
  Type 'typeof import("/Users/nicholasretallack/Documents/artstream/next-auth")' has no call signatures

Perhaps this is because of the next-auth.d.ts file?

No, I am afraid I cannot help regarding this

I could not reproduce this. Do you have a repo I can look at?

Yes, this is caused by the next-auth.d.ts file. If you put *.d.ts file inside a directory like types/next-auth.d.ts ad be sure it is included with you ts compiler, things should run fine.

Cause is a module naming conflict overwriting and not extending the Next-Auth Package.

[HXavS]

The Next-Auth Documentation recommends putting the any Next-Auth Model Augmentations inside of a types directory and not in the project root directory.

For anyone having this same problem, I had this problem because I added "next-auth.d.ts" in the include array of the tsconfig.json file. Remove it and follow @HXavS instructions.
