Npm script type-check is not working

[miroljub1995]

Steps to reproduce:

• Create empty directory and navigate to it
• Run npm init
• Install create-vue@latest, currently it is 3.6.3
• Run: npx create-vue --ts --router --pinia --eslint-with-prettier source and switch to source directory
• Make some errors in files
• Run npm run type-check

There are no errors reported by command.

Confirmed

This seems to be a regression in 3.6.2. It works fine with npm init vue@3.6.1, but not 3.6.2 or 3.6.3.

A temporary workaround (from poking around in #181), in package.json scripts:

"type-check": "run-p type-check:*",
"type-check:app": "vue-tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.app.json --composite false",
"type-check:node": "vue-tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.node.json --composite false"

I always thought my changes were causing the problem until I created a new project. Only to find out that brand new projects also have this problem

Any progress? This is stopping us from using latest version.

Sorry that somehow I missed the notification a few days ago.

It's because I moved the compilerOptions from tsconfig.json to tsconfig.app.json in the 2023-05-05 (v3.6.2) release, but forgot to change the type-check script.

There are a few ways to fix it:

• To restore the previous behavior, i.e. only check the src directory, please change the type-check script in package.json to vue-tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.app.json --composite false
• A more comprehensive approach is to use vue-tsc --build for type-check now that noEmit is supported in composite projects in TypeScript 5. I've opened a PR: fix: use --build for type-checking to be exhaustive and less-fragile #274 to update the templates. To adopt this approach in an existing project, you can:
  1. add *.tsbuildinfo to the end of .gitignore
  2. add "noEmit": true to the compilerOptions in tsconfig.app.json and tsconfig.node.json
  3. change the type-check script in package.json to vue-tsc --build --force
     Note that there's a small annoyance that an additional error message (Error: Debug Failure. False expression: Paths must either both be absolute or both be relative) would be output if there's a type error in a .vue file. It's just a misplaced error message, it doesn't mean any additional errors, nor will it throw when there's no error. I'm trying to fix that soon.
