Troubleshooting TypeSpec common issues

Cannot find package 'x' imported from 'y' but not using this package

This is most likely due to package y having a peerDependency on package x and package x wasn't installed. Verify the version of npm you are using. Before version 7 peerDependencies would not get installed automatically and you would have to manually install them.

Solutions

• Update npm npm install -g npm
• If you cannot update npm, then adding the dependencies to your project dependency should resolve the issue npm install x
