Set include to an empty array in your base config. You're building the files twice.

I tried, this doesn't help unfortunately.

The error means what it says; this is a misconfiguration.

The error means what it says; this is a misconfiguration.

But I didn't get what's wrong exactly?

[RyanCavanaugh]

You have an input file that produces a declaration file that is already included in the compilation, so TS can't tell if it's about to overwrite a file that you actually hand-wrote.

I've already set include options in project tsconfig.json, I still don't know how to fix it exactly. 😂

[RyanCavanaugh]

include just specifies the files to start with. If you see a file in the list that doesn't seem to belong, you can run --explainFiles to show why each file is in the list.
