tsconfig.json error: Cannot write file 'src/service-worker.js' because it would overwrite input file

[frederikhors]

Describe the bug
Reading the docs about service worker I added an empty service-worker.js in my src dir.

I need it empty so vite sees it and produces the code to register it in the final bundle (I will fill in the file afterwards).

But now my (default) tsconfig.json is complaining with:

{
	"resource": "/c:/kit/tsconfig.json",
	"owner": "typescript",
	"severity": 8,
	"message": "Cannot write file 'c:/kit/src/service-worker.js' because it would overwrite input file.",
	"source": "ts",
	"startLineNumber": 1,
	"startColumn": 1,
	"endLineNumber": 1,
	"endColumn": 2
}

Why?

I can't reproduce this on Linux. I haven't tried Windows.

I get the error in VSCode too. The code is the same as https://github.com/frederikhors/protobuf-ts-issue-94.

Update Kit to the latest version and remove the $app/* and $service-worker entries from your paths in tsconfig. They are obsolete now.

@dummdidumm I updated to "@sveltejs/kit": "^1.0.0-next.74", and removed the two lines from the tsconfig. But now the paths "$app/..." are not working anymore. Is there anything else that needs to be modified? Thanks in advance!

Updating and removing paths should be enough, can you elaborate on what's not working? Care to check again after restarting Svelte Language Server or reloading VSCode?

@ignatiusmb thanks for the reply! Restarting Svelte Language Server did the trick 👍 Sorry, was completely unaware of that, in case somebody has the same issue: https://github.com/UnwrittenFun/svelte-vscode/blob/master/docs/preprocessors/typescript.md#:~:text=Restart%20the%20svelte%20language%20server&text=Hit%20ctrl%2Dshift%2Dp%20or,re%20now%20all%20set%20up!

Edit: see comment below

[dummdidumm]

Small note: You referenced the very old repository which contains the now obsolete extension. This repo is where the development of it happens now and the official extension is this one

For me this is not related to service worker. I've inited svelte project and I don't have it for now.

Reproducable like this: (choose yes to typesrcipt)

npm init svelte@next my-app
cd my-app
npm install
touch src/test.js

[{
	"resource": "/Users/zerdox/p/midas/frontend/tsconfig.json",
	"owner": "typescript",
	"severity": 8,
	"message": "Cannot write file '/Users/zerdox/p/midas/frontend/src/test.js' because it would overwrite input file.",
	"source": "ts",
	"startLineNumber": 1,
	"startColumn": 1,
	"endLineNumber": 1,
	"endColumn": 2
}]

EDIT: Sorry guys for ping. This is svelte vscode extension issue. After restarting it everything works fine. In case I will get any problems I'll open issue in svelte language tools repo
