Vague error message with async functions #11396
Description
Activity
Yea, I got confused by this in the past #10805
Especially that in one project it worked fine (that used older types for Bluebird) and in new project with latest Bluebird typings (which stopped exporting global definition for Promise) it was throwing this error with example taken from docs. Some more info for users in this error would be beneficial.and if you do
import * as Promise from 'bluebird'- you geterror TS2529: Duplicate identifier 'Promise'. Compiler reserves name 'Promise' in top level scope of a module containing async functionsso not too clear for users
Is there another way to solve this problem now?

First thing I get is
An async function must have a valid awaitable return type.From a UX perspective, this is very confusing. If you add
es2015.promiseto your lib, it goes away.
