NodeJS 17.4.0 feature: node:readline/promises

[maka-io]

I'm getting an error:
TS2307: Cannot find module 'node:readline/promises' or its corresponding type declarations.

When trying to use:
import * as readline from 'node:readline/promises';

From node version 17.4.0:
https://nodejs.org/api/readline.html#readline

Any idea why this feature would be having a problem?

Since this is a typechecking error, it is coming from TypeScript, not ts-node, which should narrow down your investigation.

node:readline/promises is declared in @types/node, right? I would check your version of @types/node and then check the @types/node declarations to see if there are any unexpected surprises there.

https://typestrong.org/ts-node/docs/troubleshooting#understanding-errors
https://unpkg.com/@types/node <-- this'll show the latest version, but you should check which version you are using

Thanks @cspotcode ! I'll take a look over there. Much appreciated 🙏

Thanks @cspotcode. For anyone having this issue in the future, try upgrading the @types/node or uninstall and install it again.
I was using version 18.0 and it upgraded to 20.11

The issue here is that the promise-based api hasn't yet been merged in @types/node. Follow DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#61115 for more information, it looks like it's already implemented and waiting for a code review.
