Missing tsconfig.base.json from anvil-runtime client

Bug Reports
1

Hi!

While trying to compile the runtime’s client, an error comes up:

ERROR in /home/geo/anvil-runtime/client/js/tsconfig.json
[tsl] ERROR
TS5083: Cannot read file ‘/home/geo/tsconfig.base.json’.

I suppose that the base config should be for React. But it could actually be for anything.

Any idea how to remedy this missing config file?

Thanks for reporting - moved to bug reports
We’ll get that fixed.

Which instructions are you following that reproduces this error?

For now, if you create a file in adjacent to anvil-runtime tsconfig.base.json it can look like this:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ESNext",
        "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
        "allowJs": true,
        "noEmit": true,
        "module": "ESNext",
        "moduleResolution": "node",
        "esModuleInterop": true,
        "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
        "strict": true,
        "isolatedModules": true,
        "allowUmdGlobalAccess": true,
        "sourceMap": true
    }
}

Dear Stu,

Thanks for you tsconfig.base.json !

I just put some incidentally found React tsconfig.base.json and it “worked”.
This is the content I used:
{
“compileOnSave”:false,
“compilerOptions”:{
“declaration”:true,
“composite”:true,
“incremental”:true,
“strictNullChecks”:false,
“sourceMap”:true,
“inlineSources”:true,
“skipLibCheck”:true,
“jsx”:“react”,
“target”:“ES6”,
“moduleResolution”:“Node”,
“module”:“es6”,
“strict”:false,
“lib”:[
“DOM”,
“ES6”
]
}
}

I just followed what is written in the “doc/HACKING.md” of anvil runtime source.

Except, another bug - that I filed on Github, it is a Clojure error - was preventing me from seeing that my previous tsconfig.base.json actually worked too. Compiling the client however didn’t show any but I will recompile it with this new json settings.

Thx,
Laszlo
