Closing this - cause is out of date node types

Fix: npm install --save-dev @types/node@">=16.6.0"

(You should really replace >=16.6.0 with your node version)

@TomMettam no it doesn’t, Mongoose is compatible with Node versions below 16.6. This is a bug in @types/node. Further, @types/node versions don’t line up with node versions beyond major versions. So @types/node@16.6.0 is a release that attempts to be compatible with Node 16.x, but doesn’t include exactly the same changes as Node 16.6.
