resolveJsonModule doesn't work with composite projects and import from node_modules

[mikea]

This is a regression in 3.4

Code

import metadataFullJson from "libphonenumber-js/metadata.full.json";

tsconfig:

    "composite": true,
    "module": "commonjs",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,

Expected behavior:

file compiles

Actual behavior:

error TS6307: File 'redacted/node_modules/libphonenumber-js/examples.mobile.json' is not in project file list. Projects must list all files or use an 'include' pattern.

@sheetalkamat what's the intended behavior here?

We do have explicit check for json file from project reference so those should work correctly.
@mikea Please provide repro steps to be able to investigate this further and determine if its a configuration error or something we need to fix in compiler

I'm also experiencing this problem - using a monorepo with npm link'ed packages. tsc -b from the top level causes this problem. Compiling the individual packages succeed without errors. Can be an error in my setup of the composite project of course.

@thovden please share minimal repro steps so we can take further action thanks

@sheetalkamat seems like I'm not able to reproduce using tsc only but it does occur when using ts-loader with webpack in a composite project. So this may be a ts-loader problem.

TypeStrong/ts-loader#905 - so for now typescript is not the prime suspect from my side :)

Closing this since its not an issue.
