macOs 'Internal Error: Unable to follow symbol for "Record"' when rollupTypes set to true.

[benoitlahoz]

Thank you for this plugin.

Like in this issue, suddenly I have this error.

I can't provide a reproduction link as this is a pretty complex library code. But, like in the mentioned issue, it disappears when rollupTypes: false.

Note that I use swc to compile.

I am on:

• macOs 12.7.3
• node 20.15.0
• vite 5.4.6
• vite-plugin-dts 4.2.3
• rollup-plugin-swc 0.2.1

Thank you.

I ran into the same issue.

I noticed there is a FAQ about it, https://github.com/qmhc/vite-plugin-dts?tab=readme-ov-file#internal-error-occurs-when-using-rolluptypes-true, indicating it is a limitation of the @microsoft/api-extractor.

In my case I was able to resolve the issue by correcting the import to be more exact.

I also encountered this issue when the typescript was upgraded from 5.6.3 to 5.7.2 in lawvs/zod-compare#42, and I did not specify baseUrl in tsconfig.json.

  plugins: [
    dts({
      rollupTypes: true,
      include: ["src/**/*.ts", "src/**/*.d.ts"],
      exclude: ["src/**/__tests__/*"],
    }),
  ],

I also encountered the same issue After I downgraded TypeScript to 5.4.2 the error disappeared

For me it was because of ts version mismatch between api-extractor and local package.json. You can force override it and it works fine:

  "pnpm": {
    "overrides": {
      "typescript": "^5.7.2"
    }
  }

Thank you @brc-dd, that works!

Still getting issues even with the override. There's open PR here to upgrade @microsoft/api-extractor, once that's fixed hopefully vite-plugin-dts can be updated to support TS 5.7 too.

microsoft/rushstack#4815

[mkrause]

New release of @microsoft/api-extractor is out with TS 5.7 support: https://github.com/microsoft/rushstack/blob/main/apps/api-extractor/CHANGELOG.md#7490

[benoitlahoz]

For now I resolved the problem by removing typescript from 'devDependemcies' and changing my VSCode typescript settings. Even if both typescript versions were the same, well... it worked...

[mkrause]

Upgraded to vite-plugin-dts v4.5.0 which uses the latest @microsoft/api-extractor. I'm no longer getting the warnings about TypeScript version mismatch. However, the issue still occurs:

Analysis will use the bundled TypeScript version 5.7.2
