Types Errors about opengraphscraper

[wfischer42]

@nekochan0122, I'm having this exact issue. Were you able to fix it? I assumed it had to do with tsconfig exclude settings, but no config I've tried has worked...

I'm using turborepo and yarn workspaces, so it might have something to do with those for my case.

Please list the steps to reproduce the problem. (post a code example with your tsconfig)

Ok, it seems to have nothing to do with my tsconfig, and more to do with how this package's types are configured. microsoft/TypeScript#44205

Reproduction steps:

1. Start a turborepo project (https://turbo.build/repo/docs/getting-started/create-new)
2. Add open-graph-scraper to /apps/web
3. Import and call it in an API route
4. Attempt to build the project

yarn tsc and yarn build fails. Everything works fine if I revert to version 5.0.3 or 4.x.x. (haven't tried other 5.x.x versions, except that it didn't work in 5.1.1, though it threw different errors)

Turborepo uses internal package dependencies via yarn workspaces (or whatever package manager you choose) for things like shared tsconfig files. node_modules is included in the exclude field, but I get a handful of type errors from this package (and only this package) anyway.

I have no clue what Turborepo is and it only made a front end app for me... So i'm not sure how to reproduce this problem. Please upload a example repo with this problem.

I believe I have fixed the type issues in [email protected]. Please open a new issue if you have anymore problems.

I didn't fix it, I use cheerio to write my own scrape OG 🤣
