What happened?

TypeScript compiler will produce error for the following code:

const element = $('.class');
const html: string = element.getHTML(); # <--- TS2322

This is broken since v9:

• https://npmdiff.dev/webdriverio/9.0.0/8.46.0/package/build/commands/element/getHTML.d.ts
• https://npmdiff.dev/webdriverio/9.20.0/8.46.0/package/build/commands/element/getHTML.d.ts

What is your expected behavior?

WebdriverIO.Element.getHTML() should return string

How to reproduce the bug.

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-aq6xi9tf?file=main.ts&view=editor

Relevant log output

main.ts:2:7 - error TS2322: Type 'Promise<any>' is not assignable to type 'string'.

2 const html: string = element.getHTML();
