export function getValue(props: Props): string {
  return props.message1
}

3. Update the index.tsx with following contens

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import reportWebVitals from './reportWebVitals';
import {getValue} from "./test"

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

// If you want to start measuring performance in your app, pass a function
// to log results (for example: reportWebVitals(console.log))
// or send to an analytics endpoint. Learn more: https://bit.ly/CRA-vitals
reportWebVitals();

console.log(getValue({message: "test"}))

4. Run yarn start or yarn build

I was having the same issue, turned out it was because I was using a junction/symlink for my project.

Switching to the original folder directly fixed my typescript compilation and errors now show up as expected.
