Angular build fails with ckeditor - Getter and setter accessors do not agree in visibility.

[awwwer]

Hello all,

I tried to install ckeditor5-angular and ckeditor5-build-classic according to
https://ckeditor.com/docs/ckeditor5/latest/installation/getting-started/frameworks/angular.html .
When Building, I got the error message:

Error: node_modules/@types/ckeditor__ckeditor5-ui/src/editableui/editableuiview.d.ts:7:9 - error TS2379: Getter and setter accessors do not agree in visibility.

7     get _hasExternalElement(): boolean;
          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Error: node_modules/@types/ckeditor__ckeditor5-ui/src/editableui/editableuiview.d.ts:8:19 - error TS2379: Getter and setter accessors do not agree in visibility.

8     protected set _hasExternalElement(newValue: boolean);
                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

editableuiview.d.ts:

import { Locale } from "@ckeditor/ckeditor5-utils";
import View from "../view";

export default class EditableUIView extends View {
    isFocused: boolean;
    name: string;
    get _hasExternalElement(): boolean;
    protected set _hasExternalElement(newValue: boolean);

    constructor(locale: Locale, editingView: View, editableElement?: HTMLElement);
}

Now what I could do is remove the portected from the setter but this change will not be permanent since it is a generated file in node_modules.
How could I fix this error permanently?

Thank you in advance!

Hi, @awwwer,

Types provided by the @types/ckeditor__ckeditor5-ui package are not maintained by us. It might happen that they aren't up-to-date with CKEditor 5 API.

We're working on migrating the CKEditor 5 sources to TypeScript (see: ckeditor/ckeditor5#11704). Unfortunately, it is quite complex and requires a lot of time.

I'd consider disabling the type checking (if possible) for CKEditor 5 as types produced by the community may be incompatible with CKEditor 5 API.

You are right. I have uninstalled the ckeditor types package and it was working. Thank you!
