Unable to use "tsconfig.json"'s "extends" key with yarn3

Describe the bug

I’d like to extend a re-usable tsconfig.json (e.g, https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tsconfig/recommended). When adding the option "extends": "@tsconfig/recommended" to my tsconfig.json inside a Vite project (using vite’s react + ts starter) and running yarn build I get:

▲ [WARNING] Cannot find base config file "@tsconfig/recommended"

    tsconfig.json:2:13:
      2 │   "extends": "@tsconfig/recommended",
        ╵              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The warning is about the tsconfig for local files, not optimized dependencies. So neither optimizeDeps config option nor optimizer changes are related.

Local files are processed by vite:esbuild plugin here.

Vite loads tsconfigs itself and passes compilerOptions to esbuild.transform.

However, for vite.config.ts Vite uses esbuild.build directly, which means that ESBuild has to locate tsconfigs on its own — and fails in case of Yarn PnP.

So the warning actually is purely about vite.config.ts bundling, and does not affect application code.

Note that adding esbuild-plugin-pnp here won’t help. ESBuild Plugin API does not allow customization of tsconfig loading. The only possible fix on Vite side for now is to use the same approach that the main bundling process uses — that is, use ESBuild transform API and load tsconfigs beforehand.

Here’s a suggestion for adding config loading customization via plugin API I’ve submitted in ESBuild repo some time ago https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/2095

esbuild just added support for PnP with version 0.15.0: https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/releases/tag/v0.15.0! However, when I force vite to use esbuild@0.15.0 via package.json#resolutions, I still see the warning. 🤔
