Error: Debug Failure. outdated ts.resolveTypeReferenceDirectives signature.

[sparshrestha]

npm start fails to run server code and throws this error:

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"string", "Non-string value passed to `ts.resolveTypeReferenceDirective`, likely by a wrapping package working with an outdated `resolveTypeReferenceDirectives` signature.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.");

I fixed this issue by removing ^ from the package.json that would prevent npm install to fetch the latest typescript version. This should not be the optimal solution but it worked for the time being. What could be the better way to solve it?
