Typescript 4.5.2: Cannot read property 'impliedNodeFormat' of undefined

[adrianbw]

I've got several react/typescript repositories using ttypescript that have started throwing this error since our upgrade to 4.5.2. I haven't been able to isolate what the cause is, though. Unfortunately, I'm also going to be no longer at the company with this problem in about two hours, but I wanted to make sure this was noted.

Same issue when upgrading from 4.4.x to 4.5.x version of typescript

This may be an issue with a plugin you're using rather than an issue with ttsc per se.

I only use ttsc to get access to this plugin: @zerollup/ts-transform-paths so I can resolve absolute paths at typescript build time.

I was experiencing the same issue described above, but the patch-package solution described zerkalica/zerollup#37 fixed my issue. Hopefully helps you as well.

Bless you, thanks.
