Hello 👋 ! I've encountered the same issues. They seem related to TypeScript 5.1.3. Everything functions perfectly when I downgrade to TypeScript 5.0.4.

cf: cypress-io/cypress#26930

Heh so much for semantic versioning.

Thanks

Thanks

Fun fact: TypeScript does not follow SemVer, even though at first glance it seems they do.

anyone found a workaround?

TIL thanks @kinggoesgaming

The solution for this is to specify path to the type files in typeRoots. For example cypress types from the root directory would look like the following:

"typeRoots": ["./node_modules", "./node_modules/@types"],
