Hey @edgarmcbee, thanks for writing in.

I think this is because of https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/pull/9542/files#diff-378dedc641eef5145d6bdc9baf222ef3eacdd3853dced821108cd3e9ba3eaa76R69

We'll take a look!

This is not only in @sentry/angular-ivy but also in @sentry/node. Please fix it for @sentry/node as well.

Is this fixed .?

This is not only in @sentry/angular-ivy but also in @sentry/node. Please fix it for @sentry/node as well.

I can confirm, I got this error in the @sentry/node as well

node_modules/@sentry/types/types/instrument.d.ts(1,23): error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'react'.

So, I can finally find a workaround to solve it, just remove the first line in the affected file, in my case node_modules/@sentry/types/types/instrument.d.ts.

I run it inside the docker, so this line of code might help someone, add this right after npm install,

tail -n +2 "node_modules/@sentry/types/types/instrument.d.ts" > "backup.tmp" && mv "backup.tmp" "node_modules/@sentry/types/types/instrument.d.ts"
