Type Error chalk.instance is not a constructor

Current behavior

Updating to 6.3.0 running any .ts files I am getting an error

Webpack failed to compile, TypeError: chalk.Instance is not a constructor

The dependency causing this is ts-loader 8.0.14 found in the Cypress Cache: Cypress/6.3.0/Cypress/resources/app/packages/server/node_modules/ts-loader

Desired behavior

Tests should run normally

Test code to reproduce

In a testfile.ts:

it("Wants to Test", () => {
    cy.visit("https://google.com");
})

Try to run the file you get:

These are my current package.json dependencies:

"dependencies": {
    "@types/node": "^14.14.22",
    "@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin": "^4.14.0",
    "@typescript-eslint/parser": "^4.14.0",
    "cypress": "^6.3.0",
    "eslint": "^7.18.0",
    "mocha": "^8.1.3",
    "mochawesome": "^6.1.1",
    "mochawesome-merge": "^4.2.0",
    "mochawesome-report-generator": "^5.1.0",
    "typescript": "^4.1.3"
  }

Npm Version 6.13.1 Node version 12.16.1

Also tried in a different VM (same dependencies though): Npm Version 6.14.10 Node version 14.15.4

Versions

6.3.0

Workaround

Take the ts-loader from the cached Cypress 6.2.1 and copy paste it (cause this one is 8.0.13) works fine for me, but not sure what kind of side effects this might cause

Hey @jennifer-shehane after more extensive research (including trying to recreate it with a fresh repo) I found the solution. I deleted the node_modules and package-lock.json. Installed everything fresh and it worked. I could have sworn I tried that before…oh well. 6.3.0 is running smooth now👌🏼

Modifying tsconfig.json fixed this issue for me: https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/17802#issuecomment-955071058
