astro:env does not generate .astro/env.d.ts in develoment mode

[xino1010]

Astro Info

• astro: 4.11.3
• node: 18.18.2

Using last experimental type-safe environment variables features, types are not generated automatically in development mode.

import { getSecret } from "astro:env/server";

Cannot find module 'astro:env/server' or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)

I have to execute

npm run build

to remove the ts error.

If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

Code works but intellisense show an error.

Looking the file env.d.ts

/// <reference path="../.astro/env.d.ts" />
/// <reference types="astro/client" />

new line is added but the file is not generated under .astro folder.

Same happens for backend vars.

but if you execute npm run build, the error dissapears because typings file is generated.

What's the expected result?

Generate automatically env.d.ts file on develoment mode.

declare module "astro:env/client" {
  export const API_URL: string;
}

declare module "astro:env/server" {
  export const DB_HOST: string;
  export const DB_NAME: string;
  export const DB_PASS: string;
  export const DB_PORT: number;
  export const DB_USER: string;

  export const getSecret: (key: string) => string | undefined;
}

You should run pnpm astro sync.

[xino1010]

You should run pnpm astro sync.

should it be the expected behaviour? or astro could be generate types file automatically on dev mode?

[florian-lefebvre]

Yes dev should run sync under the hood so there may be a bug, I'll have a look

[florian-lefebvre]

I think the issue lies here https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/astro/src/core/sync/index.ts#L87. If there are no content collections, the env sync code may not be run. @xino1010 do you want to try fixing it?

[ematipico]

Ah yeah, that's because sync was originally meant for content collections. Now we are change its semantics, so we should remove that check at this point, or add an OR check for astro:env

I get this too, they are simply undefined, I use "astro": "^4.14.4".

yarn dev, yarn sync, yarn build all of them fail.
