[lalit-tavisca]

Getting following error after using latest version.

node_modules/@types/node/ts4.8/events.d.ts:106:43 - error TS2370: A rest parameter must be of an array type.

106                 T[K] extends unknown[] ? (...args: T[K]) => void : never
                                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Found 1 error.

Typescript version:- 4.5.4
Library version:- https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/node/v/20.11.24

It is working as expected with the previous version https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/node/v/20.10.0

Hey, unfortunate outcome of using features supported only in TS4.7 or newer.
See similar: #68889
I assume the same explanation of the problem. You're on the older version of TS here.

node_modules/@types/node/events.d.ts:72:43 - error TS2370: A rest parameter must be of an array type.

72 T[K] extends unknown[] ? (...args: T[K]) => void : never

This is the error that i have been getting since I update to the latest typescript

@philzy94 I was also getting this error. Running npm outdated showed my typescript package was 4.5.2 and running npm upgrade typescript updated me to 4.9.5 which eliminated the error
