[BUG] ENOENT: Error: File Not found

Overview of the issue

While running the default compodoc -p tsconfig.json -s, the procedure gets stuck with an ENOENT error:

[11:40:37] Empty metadatas, trying to found it with imports.

Operating System, Node.js, npm, compodoc version(s)

Operating System: Windows 10 Node.js version: v.8.9.2 NPM version: v.5.5.1 Compodoc version: ^1.1.2

Angular configuration, a package.json file in the root folder

I’m using the Angular Starter project: https://github.com/gdi2290/angular-starter And I’ve added some stuff to it, though the package.json is the exact same, aside some additional packages which doesn’t really impact at all.

Compodoc installed globally or locally ?

Compodoc is installed locally.

Motivation for or Use Case

I guess because of that: [11:40:37] Sorry, but there was a problem during parsing or generation of the documentation. Please fill an issue on github. (https://github.com/compodoc/compodoc/issues/new)

Reproduce the error

It’s not that easy to reproduce the issue, since the project is quite big already. However, the folder where the error is thrown (the analyzed folder), has an index.ts file which holds these informations:

export { AuthUser } from './classes/user/authuser.class';
export { AuthAziende } from './classes/IAuth';
export * from './classes/ICore';
export * from './classes/IDocument';
export * from './classes/IEntityFramework';
export * from './classes/ISettings';
export * from './classes/IStore';

export { ILoginResponse } from './interfaces/ILoginResponse';
export { IGenericList } from './interfaces/IGenericList';
export { IGenericEntity } from './interfaces/IGenericEntity';
export { IDefaultRequest } from './interfaces/IDefaultRequest';
export { IWSResponse } from './interfaces/IApp';

export { RestService } from './services/rest/rest.service';
export { SVCService } from './services/shared/standard.svc.service';
export { HxSVCModule } from './Framework.svc.module';

I would guess the issue is somehow there, since there is no Svc.ts file, just Svc folder.

Suggest a Fix

One workaround is to go deeper when you import something from a barrel file, pointing to index.ts

import { FooterComponentSchema } from './metadatas'; import { FooterComponentSchema } from './metadatas/index';

Waiting feedback from ts-simple-ast library.
