Type error with ApplicationCommandType and ContextMenuCommandType

I just upgraded TypeScript and some other things in my package.json and it apparently now thinks that the following code is invalid:

new ContextMenuCommandBuilder()
    .setName('...')
    .setType(ApplicationCommandType.Message)
    // TS2345: Argument of type ApplicationCommandType. Message is not assignable to parameter of type ContextMenuCommandType

new ContextMenuCommandBuilder()
    .setName('...')
    .setType(ApplicationCommandType.Message)
    // TS2345: Argument of type ApplicationCommandType. Message is not assignable to parameter of type ContextMenuCommandType

When checking the types ContextMenuCommandBuilder#setType() requires the type ContextMenuCommandType, which is resolved to ApplicationCommandType.Message | ApplicationCommandType.User. So why are these types not compatible to each other? Is this possibly due to a version mismatch? My versions:

"discord-api-types": "^0.37.101"
"discord.js": "^14.16.3"
"typescript": "^5.6.3"

Node: v22.9.0

"discord-api-types": "^0.37.101"
"discord.js": "^14.16.3"
"typescript": "^5.6.3"

Node: v22.9.0

Thanks in advance.

Or you can also use // @ts-expect-error for now, will be fixed in the next version

Oh okay, thank you. I missed that while searching. Which version of discord-api-types is used in 14.16.3? 0.37.100?

NyR•4w ago

Override it to 0.37.101, also no need install discord-api-types separately

MeridianOP•4w ago

Alright. But how do I override it without a seperate entry in package.json?

NyR•4w ago

you have to do it like this

MeridianOP•4w ago

Noted. This and restarting the TypeScript service solved it. I guess I can remove the override in the next version?

NyR•4w ago

Yes

MeridianOP•4w ago

Alright. Thank you!

NyR•4w ago

The fix is already merged, will be available when the next version releases

MeridianOP•4w ago

Perfect. Again, thanks for helping out!
