I'm getting the following errors when linting TypeScript, without installing eslint-import-resolver-typescript:

  1:24  error  Unable to resolve path to module 'mdast'  import/no-unresolved
  3:24  error  Unable to resolve path to module 'unist'  import/no-unresolved

Can import/no-unresolved: off be added to the plugin:import/typescript preset, by the same logic as in #1726 (TypeScript compilation already confirms that imports are resolved)?

Does typescript actually confirm resolution for untyped imports?

Yes (I'm pretty sure). If I rm --recursive node_modules/@types and tsc --build, I get:

index.ts:1:24 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'mdast' or its corresponding type declarations.

1 import * as mdast from "mdast";
                         ~~~~~~~

index.ts:3:24 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'unist' or its corresponding type declarations.

3 import * as unist from "unist";
                         ~~~~~~~

I can't think of a TypeScript setup where that wouldn't be the case ...

Those are types packages. I’m talking about untyped commonjs packages, that the lint rule enforces resolution on.

Those are types packages. I’m talking about untyped commonjs packages, that the lint rule enforces resolution on.

Sorry, good point: TypeScript doesn't complain that node_modules/mdast is missing (unless node_modules/@types/mdast is also missing). If eslint-import-resolver-typescript is installed, neither does import/no-unresolved.

That works for me: There's no mdast untyped package. But if I add export function notImplemented(): void; -> node_modules/@types/mdast/index.d.ts and call mdast.notImplemented() from my index.ts, I get Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'mdast' at runtime (sad but predictable).

As far as I know, eslint-import-resolver-typescript can get the kind of import (type-only or value) from the TypeScript parser -- based on usage, regardless of the import type syntax? Or maybe it merely parses without analysis ...

Ideally eslint-import-resolver-typescript would only consider node_modules/@types to satisfy type-only imports, and import/no-unresolved would error on value imports. Which implies import/no-unresolved: error, as today.

∴ my mistake, thanks for spotting! I'll close this and maybe investigate eslint-import-resolver-typescript + import kinds.

Reopening this after revising the title because it carries on from the previous discussion: Although TypeScript doesn't confirm that value imports can be resolved, it does confirm that type-only imports can.

∴ instead of disabling import/no-unresolved in the plugin:import/typescript preset, like in #1726, disable it for type-only imports like in #1057.

Also, import/no-unresolved currently misses imports that can't be resolved if it finds a .d.ts with the same name. For example, if you import * as name from "module-name" and import/no-unresolved should error because module-name can't be resolved, except that a module-name.d.ts exists, then it won't in fact report an error. Instead you'll get Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'module-name' at runtime.

∴ remove .d.ts from the plugin:import/typescript preset.

The result is that import/no-unresolved will catch imports that can't be resolved to a .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx implementation, and TypeScript will catch unresolvable type-only imports (which import/no-unresolved will now ignore).

Details

Removing .d.ts should only affect you if you have an import with a .d.ts but no .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx implementation -- in which case you probably want the error? If you don't want the error because you're only using types and eliding the import at runtime, your options are: make it an explicit type-only import, or restore .d.ts to extensions in your own ESLint config?

In addition to explicit type-only imports, I investigated ignoring implicit type-only imports: when you import * as name from "module-name", but never use name in a value context (only types). What I found was:

  1. If a .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx can't be resolved, import/no-unresolved should probably still error, because depending on the importsNotUsedAsValues option you'll get Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'module-name' at runtime:
    • error: error at compile time
    • preserve: error at runtime
    • remove: no error (this just happens to be the default)
  2. We couldn't ignore implicit type-only imports if we wanted to because it's done with canConvertImportDeclarationToTypeOnly() which is an internal API?

So I think the choice is between:

  1. Keep .d.ts in the preset:
    • miss value imports without a resolvable .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx implementation
    • miss implicit type-only imports that error if importsNotUsedAsValues is preserve
  2. Remove .d.ts:
    • error on value imports without a resolvable implementation (good, right?)
    • error on implicit type-only imports that otherwise only error if importsNotUsedAsValues is preserve (must make them explicit or restore .d.ts yourself)

Note that case 1 (keep .d.ts) will still error on implicit type-only imports from @types packages, because only eslint-import-resolver-typescript understands those:

  • This PR fixes import/no-unresolved on explicit type-only imports, in both cases (so now you can silence these import/no-unresolved @types errors by making them explicit)
  • You still might want eslint-import-resolver-typescript to find extraneous @types dependencies (no-extraneous-dependencies)

This seems reasonable to me. .d.ts is of course redundant when we have .ts; and no-unresolved shouldn't bother checking type imports since tsc/flow does that for us. Thanks!

It still gives me an import/extensions error for explicit type-only imports from my local d.ts files. I'll set up a repro in a moment
