getRunningTask is not defined in the store interface

[Lizza96]

here there are no definition for getRunningTasks,
`interface Store {
connect(cb: (error: any, length: number) => void): void;

    getTask(taskId: any, cb: (error: any, task: T) => void): void;

    deleteTask(taskId: any, cb: () => void): void;

    putTask(taskId: any, task: T, priority: number, cb: (error: any) => void): void;

    takeFirstN(n: number, cb: (error: any, lockId: string) => void): void;

    takeLastN(n: number, cb: (error: any, lockId: string) => void): void;

    getLock(lockId: string, cb: (error: any, tasks: { [taskId: string]: T }) => void): void;

    releaseLock(lockId: string, cb: (error: any) => void): void;

}`

So when I try to implement my custom store and defining the function getRunningTasks the visual studio code intellisens tells me "Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'getRunningTasks' does not exist in type 'Store'.ts(2353)". The getRunningTask is neccessary for the connect function, otherwise I got a type error saying "self._store.getRunningTasks is not a function". I can implement it and just ignore the error, but then I'm not it's working as intended. Or I can try to extend the interface, but that does seem like a workaround and not the intended solution??
I am new to all this so maybe I have misunderstood something.

This library does not have type support. Perhaps this was added elsewhere? In any case, getRunningTasks is required for stores that need to reconnect to auto resume tasks.

Hmm maybe, most definitely but I don't know. I'm new to this package. But that function wasn't specified in the documentation under custom store. It only says "Your store needs the following functions:"
q.use({ connect: function (cb) { // Connect to your db }, getTask: function (taskId, cb) { // Retrieves a task }, putTask: function (taskId, task, priority, cb) { // Save task with given priority }, takeFirstN: function (n, cb) { // Removes the first N items (sorted by priority and age) }, takeLastN: function (n, cb) { // Removes the last N items (sorted by priority and recency) } })

And getRunningTasks is not one of them. And in my termainal when the connect function was called it also caught an error saying something along the lines of getRunningTasks is not defined. But I added it but wasn't sure what it should return. The whole tasks or the task IDs. Sorry to be a bother, this is most definetely a me issue I guess.

I updated the doc, and it looks like someone submitted the type to the "Definitely Typed" project (referenced here in the doc), but I wouldn't know how to update that.

If you need a reference of how this works take a look at the better-queue-memory store

Thank you for your help and updating the documentation, it was really helpful!
