Deno: Build fails when working from a directory with special characters in name (Rollup)

[partheseas]

macOS: 10.13.6
Xcode: 9.4.1
rustc: 1.28.0
ccache: 3.4.2
deno: master, up to date
third_party: master, up to date

From a fresh clone, these are the steps I followed and the outcome: https://pastebin.com/fg1BDQdY

Seems like some kind of TypeScript error. I'm not a TypeScript expert, and was trying to install deno to get some practice with TypeScript, but the code it complains about at the very end looks syntactically valid to my untrained eye.

Very strange. I wonder if the symlinks are setup properly? is //node_modules pointing to //third_party/node_modules ?
Can you try to delete //out and re-run setup again? Maybe it's something left over from a previous build?

[partheseas]

node_modules does indeed show up as a symlink to the correct location. It couldn't have been something from a previous build because this is me trying to build it for the first time. I just barely did a fresh clone of the repo.

I tried removing the out directory and rerunning setup.py and build.py. It still breaks on the same "unexpected token" error.

All I can think of is that you have a different version of typescript installed somewhere and somehow it's erroneously using that. Can you look around and see if there other TS versions installed globally or in parent directories? Maybe remove those and see if it works?
It's a very strange error - I'm kinda stumped.

Just for context, and I don't understand it, but there are similar errors with Rollup before where for some reason the plugins are not working right and so the TypeScript plugin isn't triggered.

Looking at the code, I am wondering if for some reason the root path of /Users/partheseas/OneDrive/Source/\(miscellaneous\)/deno is causing something somewhere to screw up the file paths (because there is ( and ) in the absolute path).

Would it be possible to try some other path for the project that doesn't include ( or ) and see if it works?

@kitsonk Somehow you appear to be correct. No idea why that's causing problems, but the parentheses were the problem. It builds just fine now.

[kitsonk]

knowing it works, it means that some part of Rollup doesn't handle ( or ) well. I will try to narrow it down a bit and hopefully open an issue with Rollup.

stale - no longer using rollup
