Type 'import(".../node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/mongodb").MongoClient' is not assignable to type 'import(".../node_modules/mongodb/mongodb").MongoClient'. about mongoose HOT 7 CLOSED

Do you have mongodb in your package.json dependencies or devDependencies?

I tried doing npm i mongodb, it just added mongodb to my dependencies, but of course it didn't download anything, because I already have the latest version in my node_modules thanks to connect-mongo. Either way, with or without mongodb in my package.json, the issue remains.

Try running npm i [email protected]

from mongoose.

This looks to be expected behavior because for some reason connect-mongo is installing [email protected] but Mongoose has [email protected]. Are you using npm, yarn, something else?

I don't know why typescript doesn't like it. I've read declaration files for both (node_modules/mongodb/mongodb).MongoClient and (node_modules/mongoose/node_modules/mongodb/mongodb).MongoClient. They look identical.

I did this for now to get rid of that:

declare module 'mongoose' {
  interface Connection {
    getClient(): import('mongodb').MongoClient;
  }
}

Idk why I didn't come up with this one before. Worked like a charm. Thank you!
