Description

The following is missing in CanDBPartition.did.d.ts generated by dfx generate:

export const idlFactory;

I tried the following:

import { idlFactory as CanDBPartitionIDL } from "../../../declarations/CanDBPartition/CanDBPartition.did";

I expected to see this happen: import.

Instead, this happened: import error.

Meta

dfx --version:

dfx 0.15.0
