Cannot build when `composite: true` in tsconfig.json

What happens and why it is wrong

This bug is occurring in a monorepo project managed with Yarn Workspaces. I’ve recently upgraded it to TypeScript 3 and was looking to take advantage of Project References. To do this, I set composite: true under compilerOptions in tsconfig.json for each subpackage. If I set it to false, then everything works fine.

Interestingly, builds using tsc work fine, only when using Rollup does this issue occur.

Environment

• macOS: 10.13.6
• node: 8.11.1
• typescript: 3.0.1

Versions

• typescript: 3.0.1
• rollup: 0.65.0
• rollup-plugin-typescript2: 0.17.0

rollup.config.js

I use a script to generate a Rollup configuration, the results of which are below:

[TomzBench]

I gave up trying to figure this out. I have a monorepo with a root tsconfig that has paths configured for each sub project, so I can import the project with out a bunch of "../../../". Then, each subproject extends the root tsconfig and has its "references": [] populated to the subprojects they depend on. Running tsc on its own works as expected. When running through Rollup using the same tsconfig, I receive a typescript error that is the same error as if I forgot to add a project to the "references" property.

For example, if I delete a dependency from my references, then I get the error "../../../file.ts is not inside root dir". This error always reminds me to add the project to the "references" of my tsconfig. However, when I run through Rollup, it is as if ALL of references are not passed to the TS compiler.

The typescript API requires you to pass the references explicitly. I’m guessing that is the issue here

[Domino9697]

@TomzBench @ezolenko I made a simple repo to reproduce the issue here: https://github.com/Domino9697/rollup-ts-issue-repro

@atifsyedali and @TomzBench summed it up pretty much. Whenever we want to use references along with paths in the tsconfig files, the plugin outputs an error as if the reference was not set anymore.
