Hey @solshark! Could you also share your package.json for analysis?

And one for library which consume jira.js:

{
  "name": "@foo/projects-api",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "private": true,
  "type": "commonjs",
  "main": "./src/index.js",
  "types": "./src/index.d.ts",
  "dependencies": {
    "tslib": "^2.3.0"
  }
}

Thank you! I’ll analyze it as soon as possible. If you could also set up a playground, that would be perfect!

[solshark]

I cleaned up my code to create minimal reproduce. Please see here: https://github.com/solshark/jira_nx_issue

nx run api:serve:development

[MrRefactoring]

Could you please test the dev tag "jira.js": "5.1.1-dev20250505183833" and confirm whether everything works or not?

[rdohms]

I'm not sure about his case, but it solved my issue with the same error, not nest.js related though.

@MrRefactoring solved my issue as well
