Error compiling TypeScript sources getting TS1005

Question

I am able to run my application fine within VS2022 but when I try and run gulp and compile TypeScript sources I am getting all this errors like below. My tsconfig and package are below I am not sure if I need to change the gulp script

C:/WebProjects/ITF/Web/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es6.d.ts(20624,14): error TS1005: ';' expected. C:/WebProjects/ITF/Web/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es6.d.ts(20625,14): error TS1005: ';' expected. C:/WebProjects/ITF/Web/node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.es6.d.ts(20626,14): error TS1005: ';' expected.

Compile TypeScript sources

gulp.task("compile", gulp.series("clean", function () {
    const stream = gulp.src("./App/**/*.ts")
        .pipe(inlineNg2Template({
            base: "/",                  // Angular2 application base folder
            target: "es6",              // Can swap to es5
            indent: 2,                  // Indentation (spaces)
            useRelativePaths: false,     // Use components relative assset paths
            removeLineBreaks: false,     // Content will be included as one line
            templateExtension: ".html", // Update according to your file extension
            templateFunction: false    // If using a function instead of a string for `templateUrl`, pass a reference to that function here
        }))
        .pipe(typescript(tsProject))
        .pipe(ignore("References.js"))
        .pipe(gulp.dest("dist/App"));
    return stream;
}));

Im just guessing but I see that you are using an old version of gulp-typescript . Would u mind trying with a newer version? Of course, this might force you to update some other packages as well but the issue might be related to this package using an old version of tsc . See -> TypeScript error TS1005: ';' expected (II)
