TypeDoc does not accept directory path as input file

Search terms

directory, input files

Expected Behavior

According to the options documentation

TypeDoc also accepts directories as input files.

So if I have my TypeScript files in src, I should be able to run typedoc src to generate my documentation.

Actual Behavior

yarn typedoc src results in:

Warning: Unable to locate entry point: C:/Projects/OSS/typedoc-repro/src
Error: Unable to find any entry points. Make sure TypeDoc can find your tsconfig

Steps to reproduce the bug

Repro 1

After merging PR #1691, cd into the examples/basic directory in the TypeDoc repository and run run / run.bat.

Repro 2

I made a simple project to double-verify this issue. See https://github.com/srmagura/typedoc-directory-repro. Run yarn install then yarn typedoc src.

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.22.3
• TypeScript version: 4.4.3
• Node.js version: 14.17.6
• OS: Windows 10

BTW, happy to attempt a fix if you can provide some guidance.

This is expected behavior if you don't have an index file under src and entryPointStrategy is set to resolve. It looks like I missed that section of the page when updating it for v0.22 yesterday, updated now!
