  what type does it show for the req object?

  req is showing up as

  any

  ,

  Can you go to definition of the Access type? What does it show?

•

  It appears to be correct according to the docs. TS server is running fine

  jarrod_not_jared

  And if you go to your user type def?

  this is my generated type from running

  payload generate:types
  

  
  

  I was able to reproduce the same issue with a fresh installation of nextjs and next-payload

  But only in next-payload?

  Yes, type completion is working as expected on a regular payload server, but unfortunately not on next-payload

  I've been having the exact same error where req is any on my project - but for PayloadHandler (used in collection endpoints).

  
  
  

  I managed to fix it by installing express and @types/express. No idea why that fixed it or why that caused it though

  Thank you @alessiogr, this definitely fixed it! Actually just having

  @types/express

  is sufficient enough to provide the type completion.
