Bug report: Issue with rrweb dependency when compiled for typescript app

[jondrummond-codeo]

We get the following error when trying to compile our typescript app using posthog-js.

Seems to have been introduced with v1.164.0

[SUM-Soft]

I have the same error.

Same issue with version 1.165.0.

[Predhin]

any update on this issue, its present on 1.167.0 as well

[seeplusplus]

This issue starts for me in 1.164.0 - so it was probably this #1413

Are there any updates or workarounds for this issue? The build still breaks with Posthog 1.190.2?

Error: node_modules/posthog-js/dist/module.d.ts:1:24 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@rrweb/record' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import { record } from '@rrweb/record';

Error: node_modules/posthog-js/dist/module.d.ts:2:31 - error TS2307: Cannot find module '@rrweb/types' or its corresponding type declarations.

2 import { eventWithTime } from '@rrweb/types';

@PostHog Any progress on this issue? The build is still breaks with 1.200.1

[codezaur]

still broken in 1.203.1.
import { record } from '@rrweb/record';
record is now not separated it's inside rrweb?

can folk share what version of node and TS they're using?

we're importing posthog-js in a CI test to validate minimum supported TS version and don't get this error, so, since I can't repro it i can't suggest a fix 😅

[codezaur]

can folk share what version of node and TS they're using?

node -v
v18.16.1
[email protected]

I personally downgraded to posthog-js: 1.181.0, as was suggested in other thread, and it works now.

[SUM-Soft]

can folk share what version of node and TS they're using?

Node v22.12.0
typescript: 5.5.4

My build breaks with every Posthog version greater than 1.163.0

[SUM-Soft]

Setting
"skipLibCheck": true
in compilerOptions section of TSConfig solve the compile error for me.
