GSAP 3 (bonus.tgz) + Angular (5.2) gasp-utils build errors

[treadway]

hey y'all,

I am getting errors from the gsap-utils during build after upgrade to GSAP 3 (latest version 3.05)

 

ERROR in node_modules/gsap/types/gsap-utils.d.ts(98,76): error TS1144: '{' or ';' expected.

node_modules/gsap/types/gsap-utils.d.ts(100,97): error TS1144: '{' or ';' expected.

node_modules/gsap/types/gsap-utils.d.ts(101,120): error TS1144: '{' or ';' expected.

 

Any ideas on why this may be happening and hopefully a fix?

Hm, that sounds like just a TypeScript thing, unrelated to the actual GSAP JavaScript files. @OSUblake is our resident expert on those, so hopefully he'll chime in soon. Please stand by. In the mean time, though, maybe you could tweak some settings in your project to ignore TypeScript definition errors?

I think the compiler is complaining about the conditional types, which is a feature that was added all the way back in version 2.8 (March 2018).

Try installing a newer version of TypeScript, to at least version 2.8. If you can't install a new version, then comment out random functions in the gsap-utitls.d.ts file.
