[shepmaster]

Describe the bug / Current Behavior

Code like ace.require(/* ... */) is no longer accepted by TypeScript.

Expected Behavior

Code like ace.require(/* ... */) is still accepted by TypeScript.

Reproduction Steps

Create a basic TypeScript project

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2016",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "strict": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true
  }
}

package.json

{
  "name": "repro",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.ts",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "ace-builds": "1.36.5",
    "typescript": "^5.7.3"
  }
}

index.ts

import * as ace from 'ace-builds';

ace.require('cow');

Run the project

pnpm tsc index.ts

Upgrade to 1.37.5, run project again

pnpm tsc index.ts

index.ts:3:5 - error TS2339: Property 'require' does not exist on type 'typeof import("ace-builds")'.

3 ace.require('cow');
