[TS] Fixes typescript-axios "File custom.d.ts not found" when building consumer TS project

[alavkx]

Fixes #4227

PR checklist

• Read the contribution guidelines.
• If contributing template-only or documentation-only changes which will change sample output, build the project before.
• Run the shell script(s) under ./bin/ (or Windows batch scripts under.\bin\windows) to update Petstore samples related to your fix. This is important, as CI jobs will verify all generator outputs of your HEAD commit, and these must match the expectations made by your contribution. You only need to run ./bin/{LANG}-petstore.sh, ./bin/openapi3/{LANG}-petstore.sh if updating the code or mustache templates for a language ({LANG}) (e.g. php, ruby, python, etc).
• File the PR against the correct branch: master, 4.1.x, 5.0.x. Default: master.
• Copy the technical committee to review the pull request if your PR is targeting a particular programming language.

@alavkx what is the impact of removing this custom.d.ts?

[macjohnny]

please re-generate all typescript-axios samples with

mvn clean package
https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/master/bin/typescript-axios-petstore-all.sh

See https://circleci.com/gh/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/9747#tests/containers/2

Hmm 🤔
I did that but there were no file changes, strange. I'll give it another go.

Clearly did something wrong 😅
Pushed up the samples.

@alavkx what is the impact of removing this custom.d.ts?

I didn't find any impact, but I also don't understand the purpose of the file in the first place.

It is a declaration file with a single module, node's "url" module. I'm assuming that this declaration was created because @node/types was missing the url module in an older version. I've upgraded the package responsible for the types to the latest and removed the declaration—the project compiles a-ok.

Forgive my formatter making this diff so big, I can fix it up if we decide to merge this in.

[macjohnny]

@nicokoenig do you know the purpose of the custom.d.ts and whether it could safely be removed?

[alavkx]

Is there instructions somewhere for forking openapi-generator and building a binary to use in a fork of the node cli?

I understand if this takes a while to get merged in. Unfortunately, the problem is blocking other typescript projects from consuming the client — help with a workaround would be greatly appreciated ❤️

[macjohnny]

@alavk you could also write a small script that will simply delete that file after generating code.
