Invalid d.ts file generated from valid input #361
Description
tsc generates a .d.ts file that it subsequently cannot parse anymore.
Input file: myfile.ts
/// <reference path="./used.d.ts" />
import myUsedId = require("used");
export class foo extends myUsedId.SomeClass {
}Input file: used.d.ts
declare module "used" {
// note: the following does work: export import bar = require("some_used_module");
import bar = require("some_used_module");
export import SomeClass = bar.SomeClass;
}
declare module "some_used_module" {
export class SomeClass {
}
}Typescript command, tsc version 1.0.3.0:
tsc -m commonjs -d -t es5 ./myfile.tsOutput file myfile.d.ts
/// <reference path="used.d.ts" />
import myUsedId = require("used");
export declare class foo extends "some_used_module".SomeClass {
}This output file cannot be used, it generates a compile error: TS1008: Unexpected token; 'type name' expected. It does so on the quoted "some_used_module".SomeClass.
Expected output file myfile.d.ts:
/// <reference path="used.d.ts" />
import myUsedId = require("used");
export declare class foo extends myUsedId .SomeClass {
}A workaround is exporting bar from used.d.ts. However this breaks encapsulation unnecessarily, as ALL of bar is now exposed.
