Search Terms: tsconfig.json extends references inheritance
It seems that the references
key is not inherited via the extends
mechanism, which surprised me because the handbook doesn't mention anything special about it.
Demo:
tsconfig.base.json
:
{
"references": [
{ "path": "./some/other/project" }
],
"compilerOptions": {
"declaration": true,
"composite": true
}
}
tsconfig.doesnt-work.json
:
{
"extends": "./tsconfig.base.json"
}
Building tsconfig.doesnt-work.json
doesn't build the reference:
$ tsc -b -f -d tsconfig.doesnt-work.json
[11:12:13] A non-dry build would build project 'C:/demo/tsconfig.doesnt-work.json'
tsconfig.works-but-duplicates-references.json
:
{
"extends": "./tsconfig.base.json",
"references": [
{ "path": "./some/other/project" }
],
}
This is a correct build but I had to duplicate the references
key:
$ tsc -b -f -d tsconfig.works-but-duplicates-references.json
[11:12:13] A non-dry build would build project 'C:/demo/tsconfig.works-but-duplicates-references.json'
[11:12:13] A non-dry build would build project 'C:/demo/some/other/project/tsconfig.json'
