When importing wrong local files shows no error.

[OlegBrony]

Describe the bug

First, I feel like it should be a known issue, but I can't find it anywhere in issues or SO etc. but i refuse to believe I'm the only one who bring this app.

When I change import file I expect IDE to highlight the error - because the file does not exist. but instead there is no error about import. it reproduces with all files except ts, tsx.
Reproduce:

1. go here - https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-gzxywq?file=src%2Fmain.ts
2. check 3 and 4 lines.

I think it's related to this file /node_modules/vite/client.d.ts. in there are declared modules with specific files. maybe it should be written differently? or is it just me?

TypeScript does not give us an easy way to do this: microsoft/TypeScript#40450
I guess it's possible to achieve this by writing a TypeScript plugin. But using a plugin has some UX issues too.

so you say, that this is typescript related issue, not vite?

[sapphi-red]

Yes. It cannot be solved by changing a code in this repository. A change to TypeScript or, making a TypeScript plugin is required.
