i am facing a type error in the tracing.ts file

import { OpenTelemetryModule } from '@metinseylan/nestjs-opentelemetry';
import { ZipkinExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-zipkin';
import { SimpleSpanProcessor } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base';

@module({
imports: [
OpenTelemetryModule.forRoot({
spanProcessor: new SimpleSpanProcessor(
new ZipkinExporter({
url: 'your-zipkin-url',
})
),
}),
],
})
export class AppModule {}

@Krishan27 as of now, the only way I figured out to get rid of this is by forcing typescript to ignore the error by adding these two lines

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment
// @ts-ignore
spanProcessor: new SimpleSpanProcessor(
  new OTLPTraceExporter({
    url: 'http://jaeger:4318/v1/traces',
  }),
),

I updated the otel libraries to latest versions and it resolved that issue. Obviously I copied the code to my internal libs to use that versions.

I've been working on a fork that is using the latest versions and aim to solve this issue plus adding more features, like tracing nestjs microservices providers, a generic wrapper to trace classes not part of the nestjs DI and more.
