Hello @gert.vali, this is because the TypeScript version that the 8base CLI use, try to add a polyfill of this type, I suggest you to use the same as the TypeScript code-base:

/**
  * Recursively unwraps the "awaited type" of a type. Non-promise "thenables" should resolve to `never`. This emulates the behavior of `await`.
  */
 type Awaited<T> =
     T extends null | undefined ? T : // special case for `null | undefined` when not in `--strictNullChecks` mode
         T extends object ? // `await` only unwraps object types with a callable then. Non-object types are not unwrapped.
             T extends { then(onfulfilled: infer F): any } ? // thenable, extracts the first argument to `then()`
                 F extends ((value: infer V) => any) ? // if the argument to `then` is callable, extracts the argument
                     Awaited<V> : // recursively unwrap the value
                     never : // the argument to `then` was not callable.
             T : // argument was not an object
         T; // non-thenable

Note: You can add it in a .d.ts file and include it into your tsconfig.json file like: include: ["./types/**/*.d.ts"] to avoid to export/import it :wink:
