polkadot-types-from-chain removes imports which are used later in the same file

• What is the current behavior and expected behavior?

Rebuilding type definitions removes imports which are actually being used, which in turn results to build issues with my package later on.

I am expecting that these imports will not be removed.

• Please tell us about your environment:

• Version: @polkadot/typegen": "^10.10.1",, "@polkadot/api": "^10.10.1",

• Environment: Linux

  • Node.js - v18.18.2
  • Browser
  • Other (limited support for other environments)

• Language:

  • JavaScript
  • TypeScript (include tsc --version: 5.3.2)
  • Other

build:types is defined as

        "build:types": "yarn generate:defs && yarn generate:meta",
        "generate:defs": "ts-node --skip-project node_modules/.bin/polkadot-types-from-defs --package creditcoin3/lib/interfaces --input ./src/lib/interfaces --endpoint ./creditcoin.json",

and I've identified that the removal of these imports is coming from polkadot-types-from-chain.

gluwa/creditcoin3#95 - bumps versions of Polkadot.js packages and just rebuilds the type definitions and fails because of the error above - see the failing CI job javascript-typecheck / cli for example

gluwa/creditcoin3#99 - adds automatic regeneration of type definitions (will push an automatic commit to GitHub if successfull) and fails because of this very same issue - see the failing CI job integration-test-cli for example (actual diff in CI logs).

The error occurs only with Node versions 20 and above.

[atodorov]

The error occurs only with Node versions 20 and above.

This statement doesn't appear to be true!

Locally I am seeing the same problem with Node v18.18.2. Here we see the same problem with v18.18.2. Actual diff & node --version output is in the logs (search for DEBUG).

@smohan-dw do you have a Node version which you know to be working so that I can give it a try, instead of checking every possible version ?

Node v18.18.2 is working fine for me. You can take a look at https://github.com/smohan-dw/cord.js/tree/sm-updates-0x3

[Muhammad-Altabba]

The lookupTypes are missed from the list used to extract imports for the generated types. And the PR #5769 should fix this.
Thanks,
