Getting typescript compile error on ring-client-api api.ts

[cardsfan7189]

I'm still a novice with Typescript. I did a gitclone of this project, made no changes to the package files, and encountering this compile error with ring-client-api/api.ts Do I need to adjust my VS Code environment?

ring/packages/ring-client-api/api.ts:89:17 - error TS2347: Untyped function calls may not accept type arguments.

89 } = await this.restClient.request<{
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
90 doorbots: CameraData[]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...
101 )[]
~~~~~~~~~~~
102 }>({ url: clientApi('ring_devices') }),
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is how I ran the compile: tsc -t es5 tryit.ts

What exactly is tryit.ts? In general you do not need to compile this project to use it in another project since you should simply including the npm package as a dependency instead.

What happens if you attempt to compile only this project, i.e. switch to ring-client-api and just run tsc with no additional arguments?

tryit.ts may've been an unnecessary copy from one of the example scripts to something of my own. I blew away the directory and did another git clone to start from scratch. This time, went to the examples directory and did tsc api-example.ts without touching anything. Get the same error along with numerous others ../ring-client-api/api.ts:89:17 - error TS2347: Untyped function calls may not accept type arguments.

sorry for the last reply. It was a waste of time and space. I again blew away the directory created by the second git clone, but also saved the api-example.ts file. Recreated a project directory, manually copied the tsconfig.json contents from github packages/tsconfig to the tsconfig.json in the project directory where the api-example.ts was also located. Ran tsc without any arguments like @tsightler said, and this time it worked.
