Fs.Promises does not exist

Question

I was setting up an app when I came across the following mistake:

The interesting thing is that I use the same function in another application and it works normally. I wonder if you have ever come across this mistake and how you managed to correct it.

Code:

import { getRepository } from 'typeorm';
import { join } from 'path';
import fs from 'fs';

import AppError from '../../errors/AppError';
import User from '../../models/User';

import uploadConfig from '../../config/upload';

interface Request {
  user_id: string;
  avatarFilename: string;
}

class UpdateUserAvatarService {
  public async execute({ user_id, avatarFilename }: Request): Promise<User> {
    const userRepository = getRepository(User);

    const user = await userRepository.findOne(user_id);

    if (!user) {
      throw new AppError('Only authenticated users can change avatar', 401);
    }

    if (user.avatar) {
      const userAvatarFilePath = join(uploadConfig.directory, user.avatar);
      
      const userAvatarFileExists = await fs.promises.stat(userAvatarFilePath);
  }
}

The version of Node I’m using is the v12.18.1
