don't work with pnpm and turborepo

[yovanoc]

I don't know if its a bug or if I don't understand something but I can't find a way to make my use case working.
It appears that inside my turborepo monorepo, and using pnpm, dts-bundle-generator can't bring types from other packages.
I got a lot of error TS2304: Cannot find name XXX with XXX being types from other packages. I tried --external-inlines with these packages and changing --disable-symlinks-following but none of these works. What should I try?
thanks

edit: it appears that if I do relative imports like ../../../../../../packages it works with dts-bundle-generator. but can't build my project.

Can you share the repro?

[yovanoc]

It's a private startup project so I can't but maybe I can try to make a minimal repro starting from turborepo examples

[timocov]

Yes please, it would be helpful. Otherwise it's hard to tell what's exactly wrong.

Ok here we go: https://github.com/yovanoc/dts-repro

pnpm generate:api in the main-service app.

the generated api.d.ts don't include StaticType from packages/external-types even if we add --external-inlines @dts-repro/external-types to the command too

Hey @yovanoc, thanks for the repro. How does it work for you? I just opened your repro and vscode also highlights the same issue as the tool generates:

$ pnpm generate:api

> @dts-repro/main-service@0.0.0 generate:api D:\projects\dts-repro\apps\main-service
> pnpm dlx dts-bundle-generator -o api.d.ts ./src/api.ts

It seems that you're using composite projects that aren't supported right now (#93). As a workaround you can create a separate tsconfig for the tool that will include all needed files (basically just don't restrict any folders), something like this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "NodeNext",
    "paths": {
      "@dts-repro/*": ["../../packages/*"]
    },
    "types": ["node"],
    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext"
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

works fine:

$ pnpm generate:api

> @dts-repro/main-service@0.0.0 generate:api D:\projects\dts-repro\apps\main-service
> pnpm dlx dts-bundle-generator -o api.d.ts ./src/api.ts --project tsconfig.dts.json && cat api.d.ts

export {};

Feel free to post any updates if it is not the only issue you're experiencing.

oh thanks for the info I think it should be written in the readme.. but when I do that on the real project I get Error: Unknown top-level node kind (with modifiers): SourceFile. If you're seeing this error, please report a bug on https://github.com/timocov/dts-bundle-generator/issues

Make sure skibLibCheck is disabled. Can you provide a repro?

[yovanoc]

Can we talk in PM somewhere that I give you access to the repo?
Thanks for your time

[timocov]

Sure. Pls email me at timocov@gmail.com
