Recently the conversion of GridFSBucketWriteStream to type WritableStream became impossible and leads to a types error.

const wst = svcMng.DBService.projectImageGrid.openUploadStream(image.name);
const uploadPromise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const read = new Readable({
        read() {
            this.push(image.data);
            this.push(null);
        }
    });

    read.on('error', (err) => {
        reject(err);
    });
    read.on('end', () => {
        resolve(null);
    });
    read.pipe(wst);
});
await uploadPromise;

read.pipe(wst) leads to: Argument of type 'GridFSBucketWriteStream' is not assignable to parameter of type 'WritableStream'.

wst is a GridFSBucketWriteStream type and should be convertible to WritableStream as GridFSBucketWriteStream class implements NodeJS.WritableStream.

Of course read.pipe(wst as any) solve the issue but I would like to avoid it.

read.pipe(wst as NodeJS.WritableStream) is not working also.

Versions:

  • mongoose: 6.1.4
  • typescript: 4.1.2
  • node v12.16.3

Thank you in advance for the help !

UPDATE: This issue has since been resolved (about 6 hours after my answer below) with mongodb version 4.3.0. (Here was the bug report: jira.mongodb.org/browse/NODE-3843)

I ran into the same problem and found a workaround. It was implicitly installing @types/node version 17.0.8 (See @types/node/package.json in node_modules). The breaking change is between Node 16 and Node 17 in the WritableStream interface. The end method used to return void and now returns this.

You can specify the version of Node types you want by running:

npm install --save-dev @types/node@16

It seems in the long term, the mongodb Node driver project needs to fix its compatibility with Node 17. But this workaround helped me for now.
