TypeScript Server Error (4.5.4): Cannot read property 'close' of undefined

🔎 Search Terms

TS Server Error, TypeScript Server Error, Cannot read property ‘close’ of undefined

🕗 Version & Regression Information

This is an issue I encounter on TypeScript 4.5.4, typescript@next and TypeScript 4.5.3. I only tried these three.

🙁 Actual behavior

Code is irrelevant. When typing, I’m assuming when the server looks for symbols, suddenly the Intellisense stops. When I check the VSC console, I get the following logs:

Restarting the TypeScript server works for a few seconds, and it stops again after a few seconds of typings. For instance, I created a new file where I started to type import, and it crashed. A second time it didn’t crash, but then it crashed when I typed the symbol I imported.

🙂 Expected behavior

It shouldn’t crash when typing.

Reproduction

I’m really not sure how to reproduce this. My only TypeScript project for the moment is https://github.com/preset/preset, and this is the one TypeScript crashes in.

Maybe relevant: I’m using a pnpm monorepository. TypeScript is installed at the root and in every package. I’ve tried VSC’s TypeScript version and the package’s version.

The reason I tried signature help was the call to IOSession.Session.getSignatureHelpItems in the stack. The next things to happen were getLanguageService/updateProjectIfDirty, so maybe it behaves differently if you build the project first. I’ll try pnpm run build and then check signature help again.

So, I’ve been working on the project again. It took about 15 minutes for me to notice the TypeScript server crashed.

I restarted and tried again: I was working on the config, so packages/core/src/config.ts. I replaced all the code except the imports. I started adding a new function, trying to import the symbol of a package that I just added. It isn’t detected so I add the import, then I save. Before I save, I have this in the file:

import path from 'node:path'
import os from 'node:os'
import fs from 'node:fs'
import { PresetConfiguration } from './types'
import { debug } from './utils'
import { loadConfig } from 'unconfig'

export function initializeConfig() {
	await loadConfig()
}

And when I saved I saw the TS server crash (I had devtools open).

If it’s of any help, here is my extension list:
