TypeScript error: PrivateService missing from client module

[Pattkopp]

Issue Description

There's a TypeScript error in the project related to the PrivateService which appears to be missing from the client module:

TS2305: Module '"../../src/client"' has no exported member 'PrivateService'.

Location

• File: /frontend/tests/utils/privateApi.ts
• Line: import { OpenAPI, PrivateService } from "../../src/client"

Hypothesis (might be incorrect)

Based on the comment in privateApi.ts:

// Note: the `PrivateService` is only available when generating the client
// for local environments

It appears that PrivateService might be conditionally generated only in local development environments. The client generation process seems to be controlled by:

1. scripts/generate-client.sh
2. The generate-client script in frontend/package.json which uses openapi-ts

Possible solutions to investigate:

1. Generate the client with the correct environment variable to include PrivateService
2. Modify privateApi.ts to use existing services like UsersService instead
3. Add conditional logic to check if PrivateService exists before using it

Disclaimer

This is just a hypothesis based on code analysis and may be incorrect. Further investigation is needed to confirm the actual cause and find the proper solution.

Next steps

• Check how the client is generated in different environments
• Review API documentation to understand what PrivateService was intended to do
• Consider the appropriate fix based on project requirements
