How to get type safety ?

[ergen35]

Hello, thanks for your great work.
This is me trying out rivet actors and bumped on persistant issue. I'm unable to get type-safety in my project. VsCode does not recognize any export from the "@rivetkit/actor" package. I'm using the default HonoJs node project. Here are is my setup and files

[Code]

[package.json]

[tsconfig.json]

Thanks for reporting. It looks like the issue is that @rivetkit/actor depends on @rivetkit/core as a peer dependency, but Yarn does not auto-install peer dependencies.

Try running yarn add @rivetkit/core to see if that fixes it.

Next version will include core as a normal dependency instead of a peer dependency.

Okay, just did that and the warning is gone.
i've installed @rivetkit/actor and @rivetkit/core.
It required me to also install @hono/zod-openapi

After that, it keeps throwing the following error:

^^ sorry if i seem dumb. I've tried the documentation samples with pnpm, yarn and npm but none seem to be working. Did you deploy a breaking change or something like that ?

[NathanFlurry]

Oof, this will also be fixed in the next version. Using peer deps was a mistake.

I suspect the wrong version of zod was installed, try this:

{
	"name": "whatzflow.instances.host",
	"packageManager": "[email protected]",
	"version": "0.0.1",
	"license": "MIT",
	"type": "module",
	"scripts": {
		"dev": "tsx --watch registry.ts",
		"build": "tsc",
		"start": "node dist/index.js"
	},
	"dependencies": {
		"@hono/node-server": "^1.17.0",
		"@hono/node-ws": "^1.2.0",
		"@hono/zod-openapi": "~0.19.6",
		"@rivetkit/core": "^0.9.1",
		"hono": "^4.8.5",
		"zod": "^3.25.0"
	},
	"devDependencies": {
		"@rivetkit/actor": "^0.9.1",
		"@types/node": "^22.16.5",
		"@types/ws": "^8",
		"tsx": "^4.7.1",
		"typescript": "^5.8.3"
	}
}

Heads up – you're running Yarn v1.22.22, which is quite old. The latest is 4.9.1.

[ergen35]

Well, after some unsuccessfull trials, i think i'll wait for the next releases. I would like to have a setup that is easy to pick and smooth to work with.
Thanks you for your hard work. I'll be waiting for new releases

[NathanFlurry]

I'll ping you here when it's up. Can you send the error you ran in to before moving on?

[ergen35]

Sure, i'll gather every bit of informations about it and expose them here.

[NathanFlurry]

@ergen35 Try v0.9.3

[ergen35]

Hello, just tried it and it's awesome. It still have me install "@hono/node-ws" package
Notes:

• Migrated to yarn v4.9.2
• Using HonoJs

Works fine and fast.

[NathanFlurry]

Installing node-ws is expected. Glad to hear it!
