Cannot compile namespaces when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided
I had the same problem and I added tsconfig.json
into the root directory of my project.
{
"compilerOptions": {
"isolatedModules": false
}
}
I didn't have the time to dive into it, but it solved the problem.
I faced similar issue in react + ts. I had commented out all my code.
Turns out A global file cannot be compiled using '--isolatedModules'. Ensure your file contains imports, exports, or an 'export {}' statement.
So, added something like:
export const foo = 'foo';
or
export {}
It's a temporary solution, else you can delete the file with commented code or update tsconfig.json
