When running with extends for Node 14 I get not found

[awentzel]

When extending my TypeScript configuration using node 14 I'm getting an error when using VS Code debugger.

File '@tsconfig/node14/tsconfig.json' not found.

tsconfig.json file contents:

{
  "extends": "@tsconfig/node14/tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "outDir": "dist",
    "removeComments": false,
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "rootDir": ".",
    "sourceMap": true,
  },
  "include": [
    "**/*.ts",
    "**/*.spec.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "dist/*"
  ]
}

package.json file content excerpt:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@graphql-codegen/cli": "^2.2.0",
    "@graphql-codegen/introspection": "^2.1.0",
    "@graphql-codegen/typescript": "^2.2.2",

When I update the path to include node_modules "extends": "./node_modules/@tsconfig/node14/tsconfig.json", the error goes away.

Is this intended? Should the documentation be updated? Perhaps I'm missing something. Thanks

I get the same issue for node16 base config, is this intended? Because if so the documentation should probably be updated. Thanks!

Sounds like a bug in whatever is resolving the path to me? Might need to file a repro to the TypeScript repo?

I get this for node 16, but strangely it was working as expected until maybe 2 weeks ago and now the same repo on the same two computers gives the error:

File '@tsconfig/node16/tsconfig.json' not found.

Only thing I can think of that changed since it worked is I updated to macOS 12.6.

I suppose it happens in some versions of Typescript when node_modules is excluded by the combination of include/exclude options in tsconfig.json, making @tsconfig/node* being no longer resolved from that folder automatically.

  "extends": "@tsconfig/node14/tsconfig.json",
  "include": [
    "**/*.ts",
    "**/*.spec.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",       <—
    "dist/*"
  ]
