Typescript throwing error when events for a cron job is of a different format

[Michael-Xie]

I am using serverless.ts since the code base is using typescript.

I was planning to use multiple cron schedules for a function or use the serverless-local-schedule plug-in, but typescript would say that the format is incompatible, even though the serverless doc for its yaml equivalent is valid. How can this be fixed?

What I have:

export default {
	handler: `${handlerPath(__dirname)}/handler.main`,
	events: [
		{
			schedule: {
				rate: 'cron(30 5 * * ? *)',
			},
		},
	],
};

The error message:

Cannot load "serverless.ts": Initialization error: TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:

Setup:

• using serverless v3
• AWS
