Problems with typescript in Cocos 3.8.1 and 3.8.0

Cocos Creator
1

Hi there. I want to setup some pipelines to quality check the code. And I have found strange thing.

I wasn’t able to compile typescript with npx tsc --noEmit

How to reproduce:

  1. Install Cocos Creator 3.8.1 or 3.8.0
  2. Create a new project from ‘Hello World’ template.
  3. Open project folder in editor like VSCode
  4. In terminal add typescript to your project npm i typescript
  5. Launch npx tsc --noEmit

You will receive huge amount of errors like that:

Fixed this by adding

"skipLibCheck": true

to the projects tsconfig.json
