near-sdk-bindgen String issue

[Varatharaj-K]

Hi Team, I am adding features to an existing NEAR smart contract written in Typescript. I am able to install the packages successfully. But when I try to build the contract I am getting the below error.

npm run build                        

> [email protected] build
> npm run build:release


> [email protected] build:release
> npx asc assembly/index.ts --target release --runtime stub

ERROR TS2322: Type '~lib/string/String | null' is not assignable to type '~lib/string/String'.

       encoder.setString(name, value);
