nest: ESTree breaking build

Bug Report

Current behavior

Triggering ‘npm run build’ exits with a error from estree, originating from ESLint

node_modules/@types/eslint/index.d.ts:260:41 - error TS2724: '"/home/politik/projects/nestjs-meta-admin/node_modules/@types/estree/index"' has no exported member named 'ChainExpression'. Did you mean 'ThisExpression'?

260         ChainExpression?: (node: ESTree.ChainExpression & NodeParentExtension) => void;
                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
node_modules/@types/eslint/index.d.ts:283:42 - error TS2694: Namespace '"/home/politik/projects/nestjs-meta-admin/node_modules/@types/estree/index"' has no exported member 'ImportExpression'.

283         ImportExpression?: (node: ESTree.ImportExpression & NodeParentExtension) => void;

I encountered the same issue while trying to update one of my apps that I hadn’t touched for about 6 months. It was really doing my head in.

$ npx nest build
node_modules/@types/eslint/index.d.ts:260:41 - error TS2724: '"/home/jyutzio/src/app/node_modules/@types/estree/index"' has no exported member named 'ChainExpression'. Did you mean 'ThisExpression'?

260         ChainExpression?: (node: ESTree.ChainExpression & NodeParentExtension) => void;
                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
node_modules/@types/eslint/index.d.ts:283:42 - error TS2694: Namespace '"/home/jyutzio/src/app/node_modules/@types/estree/index"' has no exported member 'ImportExpression'.

283         ImportExpression?: (node: ESTree.ImportExpression & NodeParentExtension) => void;
                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Found 2 error(s).

My understanding is that the @types/eslint package requires a specific version of @types/estree. But in @types/eslint’s package json it has the following:

    "dependencies": {
        "@types/estree": "*",
        "@types/json-schema": "*"
    },

I solved it by adding the following package:

npm i -D @types/estree@^0.0.45

I spent a lot longer than I would like to admit figuring this out. I still don’t know where exactly things went wrong but I’m glad to have it solved and hopefully this can help others.

Edit: It seems one of my project’s dependencies insisted on using an older version estree which has then let me to this dependency hell? 😦
