yeoman-test uses broken types

[manuth]

Hi Yeoman Team
The currently published version of yeoman-test uses a broken @types-package (one that prevents projects from building if they have the most recent glob version somewhere in the dependency tree).

Could you therefore please publish a patch release with its @types/mem-fs-editor set to 7.0.2 or newer?

Thank you so much for your effort!

Unfortunately it’s a npm design problem.
Updating mem-fs-editor types will not fix the problem.

[manuth]

@types/mem-fs-editor 7.0.2 and newer use globby instead of glob which therefore fixes the issue with the glob type collision.

I found a workaround that did the trick in my project. I deleted the package-lock.json file and did an npm install as this will automatically install the most recent @types/mem-fs-editor.

So this issue really isn't that urgent

main version already has updated packages.
But the problem may persist and is not fixable in our part.
Workarounds like this https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/16f357c4b47add2340d1ab35cf256afacc27abe6/package.json#L85 could be used.

Closing.
