Compiler outputs files to the wrong directory structure #5809
Description
Activity
--rootDiroption will solve your issue. See: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Compiler-OptionsReacted by kostyak76Thanks for the tip falsandtru (@falsandtru). Setting
rootDirto.in bad-tsconfig.json does indeed solve the first issue, though it seems to me like that ought to be the default value ofrootDiranyway.Unfortunately I can't seem to fix the second issue by setting
rootDir, I've tried modifyingsrc/second/tsconfig.jsonlike so:{ "compilerOptions": { "module": "commonjs", "target": "es6", "noImplicitAny": true, "sourceMap": false, "declaration": false, "noLib": false, "outDir": "../../lib3", "rootDir": ".." }, "files": [ "first/file1.ts", "second/file2.ts" ] }but the compiler then fails to find the source files:
error TS6053: File 'src/second/first/file1.ts' not found. error TS6053: File 'src/second/second/file2.ts' not found.Correct code:
{ "compilerOptions": { "module": "commonjs", "target": "es6", "noImplicitAny": true, "sourceMap": false, "declaration": false, "noLib": false, "outDir": "../../lib3", "rootDir": ".." }, "files": [ "../first/file1.ts", "../second/file2.ts" ] }That does indeed work, thanks falsandtru (@falsandtru).
Not at all. Let's complete a issue with closing of it.
For future reference, the explanation of the
rootDiroption in #2772 is vastly better than the two short sentences written about it in https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Compiler-Options- locked and limited conversation to collaborators

I've noticed a couple of issues with the way the compiler resolves the output directory structure. I've created a minimal project that can be used to reproduce these issues, it's setup as an NPM package, so after cloning/extracting run
npm installto install the latest nightly build of TypeScript (support for filenames in the--projectcompiler option was added very recently).Issue 1
From the package root run
Note that the output directory structure is (as expected):
Now run
Note that the output directory structure is missing the subdir

Issue 2
I'm not sure if this is a bug or just user error, but it can be reproduced starting with TypeScript 1.6.2 (and possibly earlier, that's just the oldest version I've tried). Run
Note that the output directory structure is:
