Latest per:

import {Octokit} from 'https://cdn.skypack.dev/@octokit/rest';

What happened?

Get a static check error saying that .rest property doesn't exist on Octokit instantiation.

When attempting to run, I get confirmation:

Check file:///Users/dalanmiller/repos/flat/postprocess.ts
error: TS2339 [ERROR]: Property 'rest' does not exist on type 'OctokitWithDefaults'.
            await octokit.rest.issues.create({

Can you share your tsconfig?

The code looks fine to me

[dalanmiller]

No .tsconfig just:

❯ cat .vscode/settings.json                                                  
{
  "deno.enable": true
}%

And agreed, I read through all the octokit.js docs, but then it's also failing at runtime.

This is most likely related to the Deno compatibility problems we discussed in the other issues and the discussion at #1708.

I'm open to simple fixes that resolve the compatibility problems. I think the proper fix will be #2128, I won't look into Deno compatibility before that myself
