resolveJsonModule json node_modules

🕗 Version & Regression Information

Version 4.2.4
macOS 11.3

The issue seems very old, at least TS v3.4 is also affected.

  • This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about tsconfig.json

💻 Code

tsconfig.json

{
	"compilerOptions": {
		"baseUrl": "src",
		"rootDir": "src",
		"outDir": "dist",
		"resolveJsonModule": true,
	},
}

src/index.ts

import * as json from './config.json';

src/config.json

{}

🙁 Actual behavior

When I run tsc the output in dist contains index.js and config.json. This is good and expected. If any parent directory is named node_modules then the JSON file will no longer be copied. A full terminal session of this phenomenon is included below:

marcel@marcel ~/tmp $ ls -lah
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 marcel  staff    96B May  4 02:22 .
drwxr-xr-x  84 marcel  staff   2.6K May  4 02:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x   4 marcel  staff   128B May  4 02:21 test

marcel@marcel ~/tmp $ cd test 

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/test $ ls -lah
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  4 marcel  staff   128B May  4 02:21 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 marcel  staff    96B May  4 02:22 ..
drwxr-xr-x  4 marcel  staff   128B May  4 02:13 src
-rw-r--r--  1 marcel  staff   119B May  4 02:14 tsconfig.json

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/test $ npx tsc

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/test $ cat dist/config.json 
{}

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/test $ cd ..

marcel@marcel ~/tmp $ mkdir node_modules

marcel@marcel ~/tmp $ mv test node_modules 

marcel@marcel ~/tmp $ cd node_modules/test 

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/node_modules/test $ rm -rf dist 

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/node_modules/test $ npx tsc

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/node_modules/test $ cat dist/config.json
cat: dist/config.json: No such file or directory

marcel@marcel ~/tmp/node_modules/test $ ls dist 
index.js

🙂 Expected behavior

It is unexpected that the name of a parent directory would affect the compiler in this manner.

Additional information

If I invoke the compiler with the --traceResolution option the output is almost exactly the same but an additional line is logged in the node_modules parent case. The full log follows and the additional line is annotated inline. This diagnostic message does not appear when node_modules is found in the parent hierarchy.
