schema.ts Typescript compilation error - No overload matches this call

Hi there, Just started getting Typescript build errors happening in the past few hours with 6.11.0, and also now with last 2 releases? I’ve been using 6.10.1 without issue since release. Tried downgrading to 6.10.1 and 6.10.0 and am still getting the same issue now? Did those versions get re-pushed, or is something else up?

I found the previously logged Typescript Issues with your npm 7 update, and already have my tsconfig file ignoring node_modules. It seems all the .ts source files are included in the release, whereas 6.9.2 changelog explicitly mentions that the .ts source files are removed?

Also did the obligatory node_modules delete and reinstall, same thing. Using npm 6.14.12 as I’ve found 7 to be a nightmare!

15 35.46 node_modules/express-validator/src/middlewares/schema.ts(72,15): error TS2769: No overload matches this call.
#15 35.46   Overload 1 of 2, '(predicate: (value: string, index: number, array: string[]) => value is keyof Validators<any> | keyof Sanitizers<any>, thisArg?: any): (keyof Validators<any> | keyof Sanitizers<...>)[]', gave the following error.

To Reproduce

Compile/build/load a project.

Express-validator Version: 6.11.0 Typescript v 4.2.4

In my case, the issue still persisted on the latest version of express-validator but I fixed it by updating my typescript version to a more recent one. 3.33.333 -> 4.2.3

My project uses TypeORM and running typeorm init seems to have installed a version of typescript that was causing these build issues with express-validator.

Thanks all! Fix is in v6.11.1.
