Thanks for the issue! Please provide steps to reproduce this. I am unable to reproduce by running ionic start, selecting React and list, then changing to the directory and running ionic serve.

[ptallett]

I ran ionic start, selected react and list, did npm install, then opened in vscode.

Note the error seems only to be in vscode, the project builds and runs just fine

[ptallett]

I have 50 or so other React/TS/Vite projects on this machine and all are fine.

Thanks for the reply! I tried disabling all of my extensions, but I'm still unable to reproduce the issue. I also had a coworker try, and he wasn't able to reproduce it either. Here's my VSCode info:

Could you share your version info, or see if anything here stands out? Also, does disabling extensions or reloading the window resolve the error on your end?

Its a hard error, restarting vscode doesn't help.
However, the trivial fix is to @ts-ignore as its probably just a quirk on my system

[brandyscarney]

Thanks for the info! I thought it might be because you were on Windows but I tested it there and still don't see the error. 😩

Could it be a caching issue with a dependency? Does it go away if you try rm -rf node_modules && npm install?

Sorry I'm at a loss of what could be causing this without being able to reproduce it.

[ptallettms]

Deleting node-modules and reinstalling deps made no difference I am afraid
