Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'. when running project that uses Supabase

[eRuaro]

Bug report

• I confirm this is a bug with Supabase, not with my own application.
• I confirm I have searched the Docs, GitHub Discussions, and Discord.

Describe the bug

A typescript type issue on the code.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior, please provide code snippets or a repository:

1. Run a supabase project using storage-js

Expected behavior

Application runs with no problems!

Screenshots

If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System information

• OS: Linux
• Version of supabase-js: 2.36.0
• Version of storage-js: 2.5.4
• Version of Node.js: 19.6

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here.

I'm also getting this error when running npm run build thus I can't deploy a new version of my frontend which I was hoping to accomplish yesterday until I had this issue after I restarted my TS server.

What I found to work on my localhost is to edit the files directly from the node modules, the following functions are the ones I edited:
StorageFileApi.ts

export default class StorageFileApi {

  ...
  ...
  getPublicUrl(
    path: string,
    options?: { download?: string | boolean; transform?: TransformOptions }
  ): { data: { publicUrl: string } } {
    const _path = this._getFinalPath(path)
    // specify list type
    const _queryString: string[] = []

    const downloadQueryParam = options?.download
      ? `download=${options.download === true ? '' : options.download}`
      : ''

    if (downloadQueryParam !== '') {
      _queryString.push(downloadQueryParam)
    }

    const wantsTransformation = typeof options?.transform !== 'undefined'
    const renderPath = wantsTransformation ? 'render/image' : 'object'
    const transformationQuery = this.transformOptsToQueryString(options?.transform || {})

    if (transformationQuery !== '') {
      _queryString.push(transformationQuery)
    }

    let queryString = _queryString.join('&')
    if (queryString !== '') {
      queryString = `?${queryString}`
    }

    return {
      data: { publicUrl: encodeURI(`${this.url}/${renderPath}/public/${_path}${queryString}`) },
    }
  }

  ...
  ...
  private transformOptsToQueryString(transform: TransformOptions) {
    // specify the type of the array
    const params: string[] = []
    if (transform.width) {
      params.push(`width=${transform.width}`)
    }

    if (transform.height) {
      params.push(`height=${transform.height}`)
    }

    if (transform.resize) {
      params.push(`resize=${transform.resize}`)
    }

    if (transform.format) {
      params.push(`format=${transform.format}`)
    }

    if (transform.quality) {
      params.push(`quality=${transform.quality}`)
    }

    return params.join('&')
  }

}

Also, editing my project's tsconfig.json by removing "strict": true works but doesn't that defeat the case of using typescript?

I had this kind of issue when using supabase.from.update(object)

object is a generic type "T"

issue: "Argument of type 'T' is not assignable to parameter of type 'never'"

and fix it simply by declaring my supabase variable
like this

supabase: any = useSupabaseClient()
