Type error with async/await

I updated to version 1.19.0 of the package (which includes typings). I get the following error when trying to await promises (Typescript):

Type is referenced directly or indirectly in the fulfillment callback of its own 'then' method

Here are the snippets that receive the error:

const user = await reddit.getUser(query.trim()).fetch() //param is string
const post = await reddit.getRandomSubmission()
const post = await reddit.getSubmission(postIDS[i]).fetch() //param is string
const posts = await reddit.getSubreddit(subreddit).getRandomSubmission() //param is string

This error seems to come from the package. While I don’t see a mention of async/await in the docs, it did work perfectly before…

A better quick fix is putting this in a ts file in your project. This way you don’t need to cast or use a function. This then fixes it globally.

import * as snoowrap from "snoowrap";

declare module "snoowrap" {
  class RedditContent<T> {
    then: undefined;
    catch: undefined;
    finally: undefined;
  }
}

Another hack/workaround for this is to use Omit<> type in TypeScript:

const unpromise = async <T>(promise: Promise<T>) => {
  const result = await promise;
  return result as Omit<T, 'then' | 'catch' | 'finally'>;
};

// This produces an error
const comment = await reddit.getComment('...');

// This does not produce an error
const comment = await unpromise(reddit.getComment('...'));
