Ts-node: 'rootDir' is expected to contain all source files

[ppparihar]

I am facing issue with ngx-uploader. when I run tsc, it's working fine. but when I run npm start it is giving me below error
error TS6059: File 'node_modules/ngx-uploader/src/classes/index.ts' is not under 'rootDir' 'xxx/src'. 'rootDir' is expected to contain all source files.

tsconfig.json
{ "compilerOptions": { "target": "es5", "module": "commonjs", "moduleResolution": "node", "sourceMap": true, "rootDir": "src/", "outDir": "build", "emitDecoratorMetadata": true, "experimentalDecorators": true, "lib": [ "es2015", "dom" ], "noImplicitAny": true, "suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true }, "exclude": [ "node_modules", "**/*.spec.ts", "bower_components", "build" ] }

Can you share the commands you're running? Since ts-node is really just tsc in-memory, it seems there must be some other difference here. Why and how are you running .ts files from node_modules anyway?

Below is the package.json

This .ts file came with ngx-uploader and don't know why it's being compile. tried to exclude it but didn't work.

There's no code in there using ts-node. The error is from tsc. The problem is your dependency - your depending on a TypeScript file outside of src/ and need to fix that.

How to fix this issue if it is node_modules package ?

[forsigner]

should exclude all source filesin tsconfig.json，example:

{
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "lib", "tests"]
}

here /tests contain ts source files.
