Cannot use namespace 'Knex' as a type about feathers-knex

[RobMaple]

I had the same issue using the Objection driver which also utilises Knex. To fix it you should just need to change the import statement in src/models/users.model.ts from import Knex from 'knex'; to import {Knex} from 'knex';.

Of course this doesn't change whats created via the CLI but should allow it all to compile in the meantime.

This seems to be an issue with the feathers-knex library as well. Not only the generator's output.
I get these errors when compiling:

Downgrading to a pre 0.95.0 version of Knex solves the issue.

I am also having this issue.

Temperary solution:

Edit tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "skipLibCheck": true
  }
}
