I'm using

package_json

and I am finding that if I include tsx source then those files are not included in the sandbox when running build. I can get it included though if it is a javscript_source. The impact of this is that I need to wrap all my tsx files as resources in order for them to then be included in the sandbox. Anyone else have this issue?

Which version of pants are you using? There were several fixes in 2.25 for the typescript support

I tried 2.25 and actually the latest 2.26 and both have this issue

Thanks for trying the new backends, very helpful to have people explore and iterate. That definitely sounds unexpected, and it doesn't sound similar to any of the existing bugs I can see: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22backend%3A%20JavaScript%22 Is it possible for you to either share the relevant snippets of your

pants.toml

and

BUILD

files, or (best case) make a standalone reduced reproducer?

repro using the

example-javascript

as a foundation and adding a

tsx_source

to it. Documented the issue in the PR description: https://github.com/eakmanrq/example-javascript/pull/1

Thank you! I’m not in a position to look at the moment, but will in the next few days

Thank you!

Ah okay. I've investigated a bit, and we just... don't support any goals for the typescript targets other than tailoring (i.e. making them exist). I've filed https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/22151 for the specifics of packaging, and https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/22147 for the typescript backend more generally. For now, I think the short-term workarounds are probably: • using

resources

as you mention initially • use `adhoc_tool`/`shell_command` targets to run the various pieces of functionality, rather than the

package_json

ones

Really appreciate you taking a look @broad-processor-92400 and creating the issues. Looking forward to when it is fully implemented!
