Cannot find module '@google-cloud/tasks/build/protos/protos'

[aphofstede]

Environment details

• which product (packages/*): Cloud Tasks
• OS: macos
• Node.js version: 21
• npm version: 8
• google-cloud-node version: 5.0.0

Steps to reproduce

Since v5, in TypeScript, resolve the google.cloud.tasks.v2.ITask interface from the package.

    Cannot find module '@google-cloud/tasks/build/protos/protos' from 'src/services/taskQueue/taskQueue.ts'

    Require stack:
       6 | import { CloudTasksClient } from '@google-cloud/tasks';
    >  7 | import { google } from '@google-cloud/tasks/build/protos/protos';
         | ^
       9 | import ITask = google.cloud.tasks.v2.ITask;
      10 |

      at Resolver._throwModNotFoundError (node_modules/jest-resolve/build/resolver.js:427:11)
      at Object.require (src/services/taskQueue/taskQueue.ts:7:1)

Seems to resolve fine in the IDE, but during TS compilation / Jest test run the error appears.

EDIT: Workaround: Use the namespaced type name directly, e.g.

    const task: google.cloud.tasks.v2.ITask = {
      httpRequest: {
      ...

Great, was able to reproduce. Submitted googleapis/gapic-generator-typescript#1543 as a fix.

@aphofstede, I've just released 5.1.1 which should contain the fix for this. Could I trouble you to give it a try and see if it works?

[aphofstede]

Works. ty

[aphofstede]

I think they got removed again

[sofisl]

Hm, I'm seeing it in the latest version, that code mentioned above only released the duplicate, see

if you're targeting esm, is it possible you need to add the full file path @google-cloud/tasks/build/protos/protos.js?

@aphofstede I had the same problem and here is how I fixed it by changing the import statement.

import { protos } from '@google-cloud/tasks'

The types under google namespace are now accessible from protos.google.[...].
Hope this helps.
