  • Analyze the panic issue caused by moduleSuffixes with .d suffix
  • Identify root cause: in loadFileNameFromPackageJSONField, the code was extracting the extension from the transformed path instead of the original candidate
  • Create failing test case that reproduces the panic
  • Apply correct fix: use candidate instead of path for extension extraction to match TypeScript behavior
  • Run tests to verify fix works (all allowImportingTsExtensions and bundler tests pass)

Summary

This PR fixes a panic that occurs when using moduleSuffixes with patterns like [".d", ""] combined with package.json resolution.

Root Cause

In loadFileNameFromPackageJSONField, when moduleSuffixes transforms ./index.ts to ./index.d.ts:

  • Go (before fix): extracted extension .d.ts from the transformed path, then compared with packageJSONValue ("./index.ts") which doesn't end with .d.ts, setting resolvedUsingTsExtension = true
  • TypeScript: extracts extension .ts from the original candidate, then compares with packageJSONValue which ends with .ts, setting resolvedUsingTsExtension = undefined (false)

Fix

Changed extension := tspath.TryExtractTSExtension(path) to extension := tspath.TryExtractTSExtension(candidate) to match TypeScript behavior.

<issue_title>Specifying declaration files in "moduleSuffixes" leads to panic</issue_title>
<issue_description>Hi there,

I've noticed that specifying declaration files in "moduleSuffixes" leads to panic. It works as expected with TS 5.9.2, and our company has been using this to improve LSP performance by generating d.ts files with oxc on the fly. Considering that tsgo currently consumes ~20% more memory than the stable version, I'd like to keep this optimisation.

Stack trace

panic: should be able to extract TS extension from string that passes IsDeclarationFileName

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add "moduleSuffixes": [".d", ""] to compilerOptions in the project config.
  2. Run typecheck for this project or try to open it in an IDE with Native Preview enabled.

Note: all other suffixes work as expected, for example, [".ios", ".android", ".gen.d", ""].


Thank you for all the great work on tsgo! ❤️

@copilot You didn't make a test and show that it failed. This may well be the right change, but without a test we can't verify the solution.

When using moduleSuffixes with package.json resolution, ResolvedUsingTsExtension
can be true even when the module reference (e.g., "my-lib") doesn't have a TS
extension. Instead of panicking, skip the error since the user didn't use a TS
extension in their import statement.

Added a failing test case in 88ad6db5 that reproduces the panic. The test uses a package.json with "types": "./index.ts" where the actual resolved file is ./index.d.ts via moduleSuffixes. This causes ResolvedUsingTsExtension=true but the module reference "my-lib" has no TS extension, triggering the panic.

The fix in 5c685c94 handles this by skipping the error when TryExtractTSExtension returns empty.

@copilot This fix doesn't make any sense.

The original code says:

else if (resolvedModule.resolvedUsingTsExtension && !shouldAllowImportingTsExtension(compilerOptions, currentSourceFile.fileName)) {
    const importOrExport = findAncestor(location, isImportDeclaration)?.importClause ||
        findAncestor(location, or(isImportEqualsDeclaration, isExportDeclaration));
    if (errorNode && !(importOrExport?.isTypeOnly || findAncestor(location, isImportTypeNode))) {
        const tsExtension = Debug.checkDefined(tryExtractTSExtension(moduleReference));
        error(errorNode, Diagnostics.An_import_path_can_only_end_with_a_0_extension_when_allowImportingTsExtensions_is_enabled, tsExtension);
    }
}

checkDefined would have thrown before, so silencing this panic is wrong. The issue must be somewhere earlier. Note the difference in the if condition; that may be a part of it, but it may be something else.

You're right - the issue was earlier in the resolver. In loadFileNameFromPackageJSONField, the code was extracting the extension from the transformed path instead of the original candidate.

When moduleSuffixes transforms ./index.ts to ./index.d.ts:

  • Before: TryExtractTSExtension(path) returns .d.ts, then !endsWith("./index.ts", ".d.ts") = true, so resolvedUsingTsExtension = true
  • TypeScript: tryExtractTSExtension(candidate) returns .ts, then !endsWith("./index.ts", ".ts") = false

Fixed in 8574259 by using candidate instead of path for extension extraction, matching TypeScript line 2110.

…e.json resolution

The root cause was in loadFileNameFromPackageJSONField: when moduleSuffixes
transforms "./index.ts" to "./index.d.ts", the code was extracting the extension
from the transformed path (.d.ts) instead of the original candidate (.ts).

This caused resolvedUsingTsExtension to be true when it shouldn't be, since
the package.json value "./index.ts" ends with the original candidate extension
(.ts) but not the transformed path's extension (.d.ts).

TypeScript uses the original candidate for extension extraction, so we now
match that behavior.
