typescript didn't enabled for a fresh CRA app

[j0053f]

I have a CRA app. I want to start using typescript.
according to this guide for adding typescript to an existing Create React App project I installed the typescript and required type definitions:

npm install --save typescript @types/node @types/react @types/react-dom @types/jest

and add a file named test.tsx contains:

export default function Test(){
    return (
        <div>this is test to see typescirpt</div>
    )
}

and import and use it in main.js
ctrl+c previous development server.
and did npm start.
I'm getting bellow error.

    Failed to compile.  
    Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './test' in '/home/g/w/projects/movie_watch_list_frontend/src'   
    ERROR in ./src/App.js 15:0-26  
    Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './test' in '/home/g/w/projects/movie_watch_list_frontend/src'  
    webpack compiled with 1 error

also, there isn't any auto-created tsconfig file in the project folder.

I pushed the change that I made in a new branch named typescript to my reposity

also, I repeat this process for a fresh CRA app, and the same error happened.

am I doing something wrong?

@j0053f I think it might be necessary to add tsonfig.json to the project directory

@await-ovo look at verifyNoTypeScript function in create-react-app/packages/react-scripts/scripts/utils/verifyTypeScriptSetup.js if there is typescript files, tsconfig.json must automatically create.

that's right, it seems that this function is only used when init.

the issue section of this repository is active, I'm wondering why nobody says anything.
