Bug Description

Sequelize v6 model definition by extending Model class using TypeScript v5.x.x results in tsc compilation errors:

1. Method 'set' in class 'X' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'
2. Method 'setAttributes' in class 'X' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'

where class X is model being defined using inheritance.

Same tsc compilation errors occur when using the sequelize-typescript v2.x.x and TypeScript v5.x.x..

Warnings are raised when using Sequelize v7.x.x and TypeScript v5.x.x.

Reproducible Example

Here is the link to the SSCCE for this issue: https://github.com/oglisa-dev/sequelize-typescript-v5-issue-sscce

What do you expect to happen?

Arbitrary model X should be defined by extending Model class without any tsc compilation errors when using Sequelize v6.x.x and TypeScript v5.x.x.

Arbitrary model X should be defined by extending Model class using sequelize-typescript without any tsc compilation errors when using sequelize-typescript v2.x.x and TypeScript v5.x.x.

Arbitrary model X should be defined by extending Model class without any warnings when using Sequelize v7.x.x and TypeScript v5.x.x.

What is actually happening?

// using sequelize v6
import { DataTypes, Model, Sequelize } from "sequelize";

// ts errors:
// Method 'set' in class 'User' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'
// Method 'setAttributes' in class 'User' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'
export class User extends Model {
  declare firstname: string;
  declare lastname: string;
}

// using sequelize-typescript v2
import { Table, Column, Model } from 'sequelize-typescript';

// ts errors
// Method 'set' in class 'Person' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'
// Method 'setAttributes' in class 'Person' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'
@Table
export class Person extends Model {
  @Column
  firstname: string;

  @Column
  lastname: Date;
}

// using sequelize v7
import {CreationOptional, DataTypes, InferAttributes, InferCreationAttributes, Model} from '@sequelize/core';
import { Attribute, PrimaryKey, AutoIncrement, NotNull } from '@sequelize/core/decorators-legacy';

// warnings (not errors)
// Method 'set' in class 'User' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'
// Method 'setAttributes' in class 'User' is not assignable to the same method in base 'Model'
export class User extends Model<InferAttributes<User>, InferCreationAttributes<User>> {
  @Attribute(DataTypes.INTEGER)
  @PrimaryKey
  @AutoIncrement
  declare id: CreationOptional<number>;

  @Attribute(DataTypes.STRING)
  @NotNull
  declare firstName: string;

  @Attribute(DataTypes.STRING)
  declare lastName: string | null;
}
