[Antonio Couto]

I'm having an issue:

• I get the error 'TypeError: (0 , $cl6Iw$ws.WebSocketServer) is not a constructor' on a simple project.
  what I am doing wrong please.

• Version 1.0.0.0

• Nodejs version v16.16.0

• Platform: Windows 10 Home

• I put the code and tsconfig.json file below.

code:

import { PeerServer} from 'peer';
const peerServer = PeerServer({
	port: 9000,
});

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2016",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "strict": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true
  },
  "files": [
    "peer-test.ts"
  ]
}

I'm having this same issue

[Jonas Gloning]

Thanks for the report. I can’t reproduce this on my machine.

Maybe:

• remove the lock file and install the npm packages again
• update Node (v16 should be fine, but 16.16.0 is a year old by now)
• make sure Windows is up to date

Now I am using nodejs v20.3.0 and I removed modules and the lock file.
Everything is working now.
thanks a lot.
