Knex types not being inferred

Environment

Bug

I have 2 projects, both using knex and typescript. Both are open source. One of the two is simply not listening to my Knex table types. My definitions look like this:

declare module 'knex/types/tables' {
  interface Principal {
    id: number;
    identity: string;
    type: number;
    external_id: string;
    nickname: string;
    created_at: number;
    modified_at: number;
    active: number;
  }

  interface OAuth2Client {
    id: number;
    client_id: string;
    client_secret: string;
    allowed_grant_types: string;
    user_id: number;
    require_pkce: number;
  }

  interface Tables {
    oauth2_clients: OAuth2Client;
    principals: Principal;
  }
}

I’ve placed this file in my knexfile.ts, in the file that sets up the knex global singleton, and in a separate knex-definitions.

Elsewhere in my code, I have code like this:

  const result = await db('oauth2_clients')
    .select('*')
    .where('client_id', clientId);

So far result is not inferred as OAuth2Client[], and I’m not sure what else to share to get close to the root of this.

Thank you so much for helping me fix this!!

Also no luck, lol. I also tried making sure that I’m consistently importing knex as import knex from 'knex' and remove instances where I did import { knex } from 'knex', because I was worried that somehow Typescript would consider the 2 import paths as separate.

Maybe I just need to look at my other project (where this does work!) and reverse engineer it until I find what’s the difference between the two.

Interesting project btw. Enterprise auth & identity management is something I have been planning to spend time digging more into this year.

Thanks! Well let me know if you ever want a chat about it! I like meeting new people!
