Error: Debug Failure. outdated ts.resolveTypeReferenceDirectives signature.

[sparshrestha]

Describe the bug

ts.Debug.assert(typeof` typeReferenceDirectiveName === "string", "Non-string value passed to `ts.resolveTypeReferenceDirective`, likely by a wrapping package working with an outdated `resolveTypeReferenceDirectives` signature. This is probably not a problem in TS itself.");

To Reproduce

cd examples/basic-crud-application/server
npm install
npm start

Socket.IO server version: 4.5.1

Server

  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/chai": "^4.2.16",
    "@types/mocha": "^8.2.3",
    "@types/uuid": "^8.3.0",
    "chai": "^4.3.4",
    "mocha": "^10.0.0",
    "nyc": "^15.1.0",
    "socket.io-client": "^4.0.1",
    "ts-node": "^9.1.1",
    "typescript": "^4.2.4"
  }

Expected behavior
Server for the Basic CRUD Socket.IO example should be running without DEBUG Errors.

Quick Fix
resolveTypeReferenceDirectives is outdated. Removing ^ in server's package.json prevents npm install to fetch latest typescript version and thus works fine running the server side code. #4408
