Support for multiple tsconfig.xxx.json per app/library

[Papooch]

I have a monorepo setup (pnpm workspaces), where each package has essentially three tsconfigs

• tsconfig.build.json - for the build options
• tsconfig.spec.json - for test-specific options (e.g. including test files)
• tsconfig.json - which ties them together via references with the content:

{
    "extends": "../../tsconfig.base.json",
    "files": [],
    "include": [],
    "references": [
        {
            "path": "./tsconfig.build.json"
        },
        {
            "path": "./tsconfig.spec.json"
        }
    ]
}

Where tsconfig.base.json is the very root one.

When I run this script in the project, it removes those references completely, leaving me with this:

{
    "extends": "../../tsconfig.base.json",
    "files": [],
    "include": [],
+    "compilerOptions": {}
-    "references": [
-        {
-            "path": "./tsconfig.build.json"
-        },
-        {
-            "path": "./tsconfig.spec.json"
-        }
-    ]
}

which I don't want, because it breaks editor support.

I just want it to add references to libraries that this one depends on. Is there any way of achieving that?
