You've mentioned that you're using typescript@3.8.1. I've checked Typescript's published versions and found no reference to the version mentioned. Could you clarify on that?

If you've just updated to typescript@~3.7, then a recent change has led to a file naming conflict, which may be the issue.

If that's the case, it can be resolved by renaming all *.datasource.json files to *.datasource.config.json and then updating all references to those affected files.

The installation of @loopback/cli should be updated to the latest version which has resolved this issue for future generated datasources.

Thanks, I had the same issue @achrinza 's answer resolved this for me
