Hi @illunix,
Thanks for using kiota and for reaching out.
Can you share with us which version of kiota and of the kiota dependencies and std uri template you are using please?

[illunix]

@baywet

"@microsoft/kiota-abstractions": "^1.0.0-preview.41",
"@microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure": "^1.0.0-preview.36",
"@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary": "^1.0.0-preview.40",
"@microsoft/kiota-serialization-form": "^1.0.0-preview.30",
"@microsoft/kiota-serialization-json": "^1.0.0-preview.41",
"@microsoft/kiota-serialization-multipart": "^1.0.0-preview.20",
"@microsoft/kiota-serialization-text": "^1.0.0-preview.38",

v1.11.1-preview.202402080001

[illunix]

And what do you mean by std uri template?

[baywet]

This one.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@std-uritemplate/std-uritemplate (transitive through kiota-abstractions)
Can you run npm update -S and try again please? the dependencies are not on the latest version.

[illunix]

Right now I get this @baywet
[ERROR] TS2741: Property 'uriTemplate' is missing in type '{ responseBodyContentType: string; errorMappings: { 400: ParsableFactory<Parsable>; }; adapterMethodName: "sendCollectionAsync"; responseBodyFactory: (parseNode: : ParseNode | undefined) => (instance?: Parsable | undefined) => Record<...>; }' but required in type 'RequestMetadata'.

[illunix]

I updated to @baywet

"@microsoft/kiota-abstractions": "^1.0.0-preview.42",
"@microsoft/kiota-authentication-azure": "^1.0.0-preview.37",
"@microsoft/kiota-http-fetchlibrary": "^1.0.0-preview.41",

I don't understand how it's possible that I use latest released version and I get errors like this, how this even work? Does it pass the tests? Can someone explain?

[baywet]

Hi @illunix ,
Sorry about the confusion here, this is expected since #4148 has not been released yet.
At this point you can either:

• wait until tomorrow afternoon EST for a new preview to come out.
• grab the main branch and build kiota yourself.

After that, make sure you regenerate your client and everything will line up.

Typescript is still an experimental language at this point, we're working to make it stable but until then, misalignments like these might happen.

[illunix]

Okey so I've built the kiota main branch and this error does not appear anymore, but there is still with Buffer is not defined @baywet

[baywet]

Thanks for confirming, and the stack trace is still the same? (coming from the std uri template library)

[illunix]

Yeah @baywet, it's same, is there any solution for that?

[illunix]

So just npm i @std-uritemplate/std-uritemplate or what you mean by explicit upgrade @andreaTP ?

[baywet]

npm i -S @std-uritemplate/std-uritemplate@latest to be exact

[illunix]

Okey let me try

[illunix]

Actually it does not solve it @andreaTP

[baywet]

Can you run npm list @std-uritemplate/std-uritemplate and paste the output here? it sounds like an outdated version is still in use.

[illunix]

[baywet]

Thanks, so we'd need to publish a new version of the kiota libraries for this to take effect I guess. I think npm is not deduping it because it doesn't have at least a patch segment at the time in the version.

[illunix]

Are you able to do this today please?

[andreaTP]

@illunix are you using NPM?
You should be able to override transitive dependencies as shown in this SO (I have done it in the past and it works nicely).

[baywet]

Additionally, I have put the bump PR together to unblock you as well as other users. Waiting for approval.

[illunix]

Okey so solution with override works fine @andreaTP

[illunix]

Thank you guys

[baywet]

Additionally the PR was just merged and the publishing is ongoing. Expecting for it to finish in a couple of minutes.

[illunix]

Great, thanks
