Bundler updating about synectic HOT 5 CLOSED

If the electron-vite tool begins throwing Cannot write './src/preload/index.d.ts' because it would overwrite input file., then the solution is to add "noEmit": true to compilerOptions in tsconfig.node.json and tsconfig.web.json. This answer was found here: vitejs/vite#13747 (comment)

from synectic.

electron-vite includes pre-populated config files for Electron Builder, which should be removed and migrated into config files for conveyor as part of #1277.

There are two slightly different Electron-Vite sites:

• electron-vite
• Electron⚡️Vite
• Electron Forge - Vite Plugin
• Use ES modules in Electron

An interesting anecdote from the migration is that as of 1e6bbb5, we are seeing the following error message:

The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize. An explicit type annotation is needed. ts(7056)

Related to reduxjs/redux-toolkit#3591 and Typescript: "The inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize. An explicit type annotation is needed.", this error occurs when calling createAsyncThunk.withTypes<>(). But it only occurs when "declaration": true is set in the tsconfig.json files.

The electron-vite project provides templates that include the the following compilerOptions:

It is not immediately obvious how this relates to "declaration": true, until looking at the TypeScript tsconfig#composite documentation:

The composite option enforces certain constraints which make it possible for build tools (including TypeScript itself, under --build mode) to quickly determine if a project has been built yet.

When this setting is on:

• The rootDir setting, if not explicitly set, defaults to the directory containing the tsconfig.json file.

• All implementation files must be matched by an include pattern or listed in the files array. If this constraint is violated, tsc will inform you which files weren’t specified.

• declaration defaults to true

This last point is the cause of those "...inferred type of this node exceeds the maximum length the compiler will serialize..." errors, since "composite": true requires "declaration": true. We can fix this issue by removing the following line, in which case "declaration": false is the default:

Since sindresorhus/find-up is pure ESM only (as of v6.0.0), and ESM support in Electron is not going to be released until Electron 28, we must externalize this dependency in order to prevent it being bundled into a CJS module chunk in Vite. The solution for doing so was found alex8088/electron-vite#35:
