Cannot find name react.

[mrVin99]

I'm getting an annoying error saying it "Cannot find name react." However, im not using React at all, i'm using SolidJS. Everything is working smoothly on Intellij IDEA.

I figured out.
VSCode is unable to differentiate between index.ts and index.tsx. Changing index.ts to anything else made the problem go away.
Gonna leave this issue open because imo this is a bug.

Can you provide sample code/repro steps to help us investigate?

It looks like this is a question rather than a bug report. This issue tracker is for tracking bugs and active work on TypeScript itself, rather than a general forum for programmers using TypeScript to get help or ask questions.

You can ask questions on sites like Stack Overflow. We are not able to provide one-on-one support on the issue tracker. Please read the issue template carefully - it has important information on what kinds of reports can be acted on here, as well as links to useful TypeScript resources. Thanks!

Respectfully i disagree, this is not a question, this is a issue. I'll provide an sample repository.

If it’s a bug, you need to use the bug report template.

Unless somehow its a problem within my vscode setup, you should be able to see. Install the dependencies (pnpm or npm) and just go to index.tsx, it should display the error msg. Change the index.ts to anything you want .ts, the error msg will dissapear.

For reference, this is not a problem with intellij idea. So for this reason i believe this to be a bug.

Sorry about, should i create a new issue report or is the repository and explanation above good enough?

This is a misconfiguration. TypeScript won't automatically pick up two files with the same extension via include (this is intentional), so index.ts is part of your project and index.tsx isn't (thus index.tsx is in the inferred project which doesn't have any of the necessary jsx settings). You'll need to put index.tsx in the files array or otherwise modify your config if you want to do this.

[mrVin99]

Didn't know it was intentional, since it worked on intellij. I'll look this up, thanks for the help!
