Please comment on the other issue

It's locked and unresolved.

Oh is this resolved in #818?

[shellscape]

Thanks, I didn't realized it was locked. Yes, #818 was targeted to resolve most of the problems that caused the error. Given the size of the framework, we couldn't claim there aren't cases which it didn't resolve. That fix did land in https://github.com/rollup/plugins/blob/master/packages/typescript/CHANGELOG.md#v821. I'll reopen this as a separate issue, separate reproduction. It's worth noting that we're short on maintainers for the typescript plugin right now, and that this will likely need community contribution to be resolved.

Hi @shellscape, I'm looking to follow the trail but can't see the issue you've mentioned. If you've made it, what issue was it?

[stale]

Hey folks. This issue hasn't received any traction for 60 days, so we're going to close this for housekeeping. If this is still an ongoing issue, please do consider contributing a Pull Request to resolve it. Further discussion is always welcome even with the issue closed. If anything actionable is posted in the comments, we'll consider reopening it. ⓘ

For those who still get this issue, fwiw, check if the parent directory or grand parent directory is a symlink. If yes, cd into the actual directory and try again.

I had the same problem (plugin-typescript@11.0.0, rollup@3.20.2, node@18.15.0, typescript@4.9.5) and could only resolve it after extensive reading of original thread, especially this comment. thought I need to share my findings for others who struggle as well.
seems like outDir field is still a major offender for this plugin. code isn't compiling until it's removed from tsconfig.json.
