Current Behavior

I have a CDS file in which I declare an Entity named "Record".
If I run cds-typer, then an exception occurs:

***masked*** error TS2315: Type 'Record' is not generic.
at Plugin.build (***masked***\node_modules\@cap-js\cds-typer\cds-plugin.js:139:19)
    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5)
    at async Promise.allSettled (index 0)
    at async BuildTaskEngine._executePipeline (***masked***\node_modules\@sap\cds-dk\lib\build\buildTaskEngine.js:159:29)
    at async BuildTaskEngine._executeBuildTasks (***masked***\node_modules\@sap\cds-dk\lib\build\buildTaskEngine.js:150:25)
    at async BuildTaskEngine.processTasks (***masked***\node_modules\@sap\cds-dk\lib\build\buildTaskEngine.js:59:33)
    at async build (***masked***\node_modules\@sap\cds-dk\lib\build\index.js:19:16)
    at async Object.build (***masked***\node_modules\@sap\cds-dk\bin\build.js:171:5)
    at async Object.exec (***masked***\node_modules\@sap\cds-dk\bin\cds.js:91:16)

The generated Code looks like this:

export class Record extends _RecordAspect(__.Entity) {}
Object.defineProperty(Record, 'name', { value: 'srv.Records' })
Object.defineProperty(Record, 'is_singular', { value: true })
export class Records extends Array<Record> {$count?: number}
Object.defineProperty(Records, 'name', { value: 'srv.Records' })

This defined class "Record" overwrites the TypeScript Record type.
This leads to the TS-Error because the "wrong" Record will be used.

Expected Behavior

I can define a CDS-Entity named "Record" and the TS-Code ist generated correctly.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Use code:

entity srv.Record {
  bar: String;
}

2. run cds-typer on this code

Environment

- **OS**: Windows 11
- **Node**: 22.12.0
- **npm**: 10.9.0
- **cds-typer**: 0.31.0
- **cds**: 8.4.1

Hi Daniel,

thanks for reporting this bug. I will look into it, but it will probably not happen before 2025. 🎄

Best,
Daniel
