Bug in transpileModule in ts 2.9.1

[arackaf]

Please try to reproduce the issue with typescript@next. It may have already been fixed.

TypeScript Version: 3.0.0-dev.20180606 - still fails

transpileModule, 2.9.1

No publicly available repro

This issue was originally raised here

TypeStrong/ts-loader#787 (comment)

until it was realized this was a bug with TS itself. It seems transpileModule is dropping valid, needed imports, which is creating runtime errors

Expected behavior:

Used imports will not be dropped

Actual behavior:

They're dropped

looks like a duplicate of #24551. should be fixed by #24591.

The fix should be in typescript@next today, and in typescript@2.9.2 next week.

Can you give typescript@next a try and confirm that my analysis is correct?

[arackaf]

@mhegazy - my apologies, I said I had tested with ts@next, and I did, but I think webpack's cache-loader incorrectly served me old (wrong) results. ts@next does indeed work.

Any idea when 2.9.2 will be out? You said next week - I don't suppose there's any chance it could be sooner?

thanks for confirming. typescript@2.9.2 should be out next week. there are a few other issues that we are tracking as well.

I have a reproducible project where even the latest version of TypeScript available did not work. See TypeStrong/ts-loader#787 (comment)

here is the file text:

import { Options } from "./Options";
import { Parent } from "./Parent";

export class Child extends Parent
{
   constructor (name: string)
   {
      super ("1", name, new Options ());
   }
}

So super(new Options()) work, super("", new Options()) does not.

thanks for the repro.
