Conflicting files

[andrzej-woof]

I'm using ts-import to load files from a directory. Seems that if there are two files that result in same compiled file name they are conflicting with each other for example loading /path/file.ts and /path/file.js results in compiled .cache/ts-import/file.js for both of them and load result is not the expected one

Hey, could you elaborate a bit on that? How do you achieve 2 different files being compiled to the same output directory? ts-import has mechanisms to avoid that by keeping all compiled files in the same directory as they were on host machine. So file ./path/file1.ts will be compiled to ./.cache/path/file1.js and ./path/file2.ts will be compiled to ./path/file2.ts.

I can imagine one could compile file ./path/file.ts and then replace exact same path with next file to compile - is that your case?

Hey @radarsu
It's about having same file name with different extension. Like ./path/file1.ts and ./path/file1.js in my case, as far as I remember they will both will get same extension in cache and hence cause a conflict (one will be overriden by another)

I think that's a valid case. I can add support for multiple same-named files with different extensions, but that will only apply to ESM versions >5. Let me know if you need support for that in version 4.
