ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'kind' of undefined

Hi! I’m seeing this in my Nuxt typescript projects recently. When I google the error I get lots of results from other frameworks but none from Nuxt. I might just be doing something wrong, but I’ve got the same error in two separate codebases.

Any ideas how to debug this further?

Looking at issues with the same message, they have been fixed by upgrading to typescript 4.0 but we’re already on 4.0.3.

Unfortunately devs don’t follow semantic versioning and they introduces breaking changes in patch releases 😨.

@devs Yes, changing core library major version (typescrtipt 3.x -> 4.x) is a breaking change!

It just broke my production build few weeks ago because build pipeline suddenly installed new typescript.

@emdahlstrom quick solution for you will be to lock "@nuxt/typescript-build": "2.0.2" (no ^ version specifier!), where typescript 3.9 is used

Have the same issue on "@nuxt/typescript-build": "^2.0.3", Is there any plans to fix this without putting version of typescript-build on 2.02?
