Error compiling TypeScript project on Solana: Unable to compile anchor TypeScript project
The issue you are experiencing is due to a mismatch between the TypeScript compiler and the « @coral-xyz/anchor » package. Specifically, the error occurs when trying to compile the project using the « tsc » command.
To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
Step 1: Check your TypeScript version
Make sure you are using the latest version of TypeScript (>= 4.7). If you are still using an older version, consider upgrading to the latest version.
npx tsc --version
Step 2: Install « @coral-xyz/anchor » with the correct version
You need to install the latest version of @coral-xyz/anchor
. Run the following command:
npm install --save @coral-xyz/anchor@latest
oradd yarn @coral-xyz/anchor@latest
Step 3: Update tsconfig.json'
Update thetsconfig.json’ file to include the configuration required to compile TypeScript with tsc. Add the following lines:
{
"compilerOptions": {
// ...
"target": "es6",
"lib": ["dom", "esnext"],
// ...
}
}
Replace es6' with the target version you want (for example,
es5′ if you prefer older JavaScript).
Step 4: Recompile the project
After making your changes, recompile your TypeScript project using the « tsc » command.
npx tsc
orbackground tsc
If you encounter any issues while compiling, make sure that:
- You have installed all required dependencies (@coral-xyz/anchor
) and their transpilers.
- Your TypeScript version is compatible with@coral-xyz/anchor
.
- The compiler settings are set correctly intsconfig.json’.
