insertText() not working for namespace

Version: 14.4.2

index.d.ts file contents:

   export {}
  
   declare global {
    export interface Person { name: string }
    export type People = Person[]
   }

Code I’m using to insert new interface into global namespace:

const globalNode = definitionsFile.getNamespace('global')
if (!globalNode) throw new Error('globalNode not found')

globalNode.insertText(globalNode.getEnd(), 'export interface Car { model: string }')

Expected: new interface to be inserted

Actual: Error thrown: “Cannot insert or replace text outside the bounds of the node. Expected a position between [36, 41], but received 42.”

I also tried to use globalNode.getEnd() -1 - it just gives different error. FYI, just checked, if global namespace is empty (no declared interfaces or types), it also gives this error, just with different position number.

Fixed in 14.4.3.

@ihorskyi I just tried this out and you’re right that this wasn’t working properly! It should just be by doing -1 to go to the left of the close brace like you said.

It’s a little difficult because you have to handle the spacing yourself:

globalNode.insertText(globalNode.getEnd() - 1, writer => {
    writer.indent().write('export interface Car { model: string }').newLine();
});

That doesn’t work right now, but it will be working in the next release. Thanks for reporting this!
