baseUrl not working

[juliomuhlbauer]

In the stable version works fine

$ npx tsgo
src/routes/tests/convert.tsx:7:23 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'data/notes_30_04_2025.json' or its corresponding type declarations.

7 import notesData from "data/notes_30_04_2025.json";

What repo is this?

Are you sure you didn't mean to write ./data? Probably you have baseUrl set, which is no longer supported?

[juliomuhlbauer]

It is a private repo. I can set a public repo to reproduce later.

The baseUrl is no longer supported? What is the alternative to that?

[jakebailey]

You should be able to use path mappings without it, even a wildcard that remaps everything to ./.

#807

But I will have to specify all my paths that are in the root?

Like data/ and public/?

[jakebailey]

You could just have explicit mappings for "data/*": "./data/*" and so on, or do "*": "./*".

[juliomuhlbauer]

This "": ["./"] worked for the VSCode Live Server, but not for running npx tsgo.

Also. If baseUrl is not going to be supported, the tsgo package should have this as a disclaimer.

[jakebailey]

Yes, that's part of #1247, microsoft/TypeScript#54500

[juliomuhlbauer]

I didn`t get it. I understand that baseUrl will be deprecated but the npx tsgo does not work in with "": ["./"]

[jakebailey]

You'd have to give some sort of example where we could test it. I don't see a reason why it would work for one but not the other.
