Issue

After a fresh install of @truffle/hdwallet-provider (other packages possibly affected as well) TypeScript typings are not working correctly and compilation fails.

Mentioned in trufflesuite/ganache#465 but it's a different repo and didn't gain much traction

Steps to Reproduce

1. npm install @truffle/hdwallet-provider web3
2. Put inside src/index.ts:

import HDWalletProvider from "@truffle/hdwallet-provider";
console.log("Hello world!")

3. npx typescript --esModuleInterop src/index.ts

Expected Behavior

Compilation succeeds without any issues.

Actual Results

Typecheck fails with the following errors:

node_modules/@truffle/hdwallet-provider/dist/index.d.ts:2:61 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'ethereum-protocol'.
import { JSONRPCRequestPayload, JSONRPCErrorCallback } from "ethereum-protocol";
                                                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
node_modules/@truffle/hdwallet-provider/dist/index.d.ts:3:43 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'web3/providers'.
import { Callback, JsonRPCResponse } from "web3/providers";
                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Environment

• Operating System: Tested on macOS and Arch Linux
• node version (node --version): Tested on v10.18.0 and v13.9.0
• npm version (npm --version): 6.13.4, 6.13.7

Ah, looks like we're missing those two pkgs as devDeps (ethereum-protocol, @types/web3)

Cool, looks like it was just @types/web3.

@CruzMolina I am not sure the PR solves the problem, as the latest '@types/web3' does not include any types and instead says, quote, "web3 provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/web3 installed!"
But then there seems to be no "web3/providers" in the original web3 package.

Did you find a solution? I'm having the same issue #3777
