Circular dependency of stores not working

[Thomas-1985]

We want to migrate from Vuex 3.5 to Pinia and have a problem with stores, which call each other.
We have a rootStore and an newStore in Pinia.

In an action of the rootStore, we try to use const newStore = useNewStore();
Otherwise in an action of the the new store, we try to use const rootStore = useRootStore();

This will not work, in the root store we get the error TS2448: Block-scoped variable 'useNewStore' used before its declaration.
I guess this is because in the defineStore calls, each other function is called, creating a circular dependency.

The pinia introduction says: "You can even have circular dependencies of stores"

Also we have read that this is possible here: https://pinia.vuejs.org/cookbook/composing-stores.html
But the example is using a setup() function for the stores, we use the same option structure as vuex (with data, getters, actions and so on) with the options api (with Vue 2.7)

How can we solve this? Thanks for your help.

@Thomas-1985 Did you solve this? I have the same scenario but not the same error. Mine is : ERROR in Circular dependency detected ! The compiler doesn't like the circular dependency of the imports...

Try using lazy imports
