Unable to use TypeScript 5.2.2 with Cypress

[Furmanus]

Current behavior

When trying to run cypress (v. 13.3.0) after upgrading TypeScript to 5.2.2 I'm getting following error:

> cypress run --browser chrome --headless


DevTools listening on ws://127.0.0.1:55721/devtools/browser/14f8fba2-9991-4a01-97ae-aab68abe63ce
Missing baseUrl in compilerOptions. tsconfig-paths will be skipped
Your configFile is invalid: <path_to_repo_here>/cypress.config.ts

It threw an error when required, check the stack trace below:

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
error TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'NodeNext' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'NodeNext'.

    at createTSError (/Users/<user>/Library/Caches/Cypress/13.3.0/Cypress.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/ts-node/dist/index.js:311:16)

(...rest of stack here)

Despite the fact that in my tsconfig.json both module and moduleResolution are set to NodeNext. See SO thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77202439/typescript-5-2-2-with-cypress-js . After downgrading TypeScript to 5.1.6. Cypress is working fine. My project compiles and runs on TS 5.2.2 otherwise (except for cypress tests).

Desired behavior

Cypress tests should run normally.

Test code to reproduce

tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "outDir": "./dist/",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "module": "NodeNext",
    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
    "target": "esnext",
    "jsx": "react",
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "incremental": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "downlevelIteration": true,
    "resolveJsonModule": true
  },
  "include": [
    "./src/scripts/**/*"
  ]
}

cypress.config.ts contents:

import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';

export default defineConfig({
    e2e: {
        baseUrl: 'http://localhost:5020',
        specPattern: 'cypress/e2e/**/*.e2e-spec.ts',
    },
});

Actually it is not possible to use sourceMap with TypeScript 5.x. Try setting sourcMap to false in your tsconfig.json.
See #26203

I encountered the same error with [email protected] and node16:

    "module": "node16",
    "moduleResolution": "node16",

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
error TS5110: Option 'module' must be set to 'Node16' when option 'moduleResolution' is set to 'Node16'.

The following workaround worked for me.

This issue has not had any activity in 180 days. Cypress evolves quickly and the reported behavior should be tested on the latest version of Cypress to verify the behavior is still occurring. It will be closed in 14 days if no updates are provided.
