Module '"react-native"' has no exported member 'AccessibilityStates'

[shettayyy]

Describe the bug

Typescript linter throws the below-given error:

node_modules/react-native-testing-library/typings/index.d.ts(4,3): error TS2724: Module '"react-native"' has no exported member 'AccessibilityStates'. Did you mean 'AccessibilityState'?

Expected behavior

The TSC linter shouldn't through any error and the type has a typo that needs to be fixed.

Steps to Reproduce

Add bash -c tsc to husky commit hooks and try to commit the code or just run tsc

Upgrade your TS typings? We run TS checks and it works fine.

I didn't upgrade any typings.

[thymikee]

Do you have @types/react-native installed? Is it on the latest version?

[shettayyy]

Yes. Copying from my package.json and pasting it here:

"@types/react-native": "^0.62.0",

EDIT

Updated to "@types/react-native": "^0.62.16", and still facing this issue:

node_modules/react-native-testing-library/typings/index.d.ts:4:3 - error TS2724: Module '"react-native"' has no exported member 'AccessibilityStates'. Did you mean 'AccessibilityState'?

4   AccessibilityStates,

[Ostter]

Addition: @types/react-native": "^0.62.9" and newest don't have AccessibilityStates

[thymikee]

Interesting that CI didn't catch it, even when upgrading the typings to the latest version. Would you like to help us improve the TS check on CI and fix this? I'm fine with stubbing out AccessibilityStates with unknown or previous implementation. The library supports older RN versions, so we can't remove these queries just yet.

React Native v0.62 ChangeLog: RN Changelog

Remove accessibilityStates: We’ve removed the deprecated accessibilityStates property in favor of the new accessibilityState prop which is a more semantically rich way for components to describe information about their state to accessibility services.

@thymikee, i think we just need to rename accessibilityStates to accessibilityState, right?

[thymikee]

Not quite, these are 2 different APIs and we actually use both.

[mayconmesquita]

They were different API's.
Now on RN v0.63, only accessibilityState exists and is exported.

[thymikee]

Yes. And this lib happens to support RN older than 0.63 :) Feel free to send a PR that will silence the TS errors if you care. I'm happy to merge.

[kadikraman]

Encountering the same issue after upgrading @types/react-native. Not sure it's possible to update the types to support both RN0.63 and older, or did you mean you'd accept a PR with a @ts-ignore?

I added a patch package script to remove these types in our project so we could get CI running again, but I'd be happy to do a PR to silence the error if that's what you were suggesting!

[thymikee]

Would be lovely to get a PR with ignore code, if that works for libraries :)
