Typescript: tsc crashes with: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

Created on 21 Feb 2020 · 1Comment · Source: microsoft/TypeScript

TypeScript Version:
3.2.1 through 3.8.2

Search Terms:
Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

Code

Run these bash commands to create a failing program:

yarn init -y
yarn add typescript@=3.8.2 @types/angular@=1.6.57 @types/angular-mocks@=1.7.0 @types/react@=16.9.21
echo "import { mock } from 'angular';" > test.tsx
echo "const jsx = <h1>jsx</h1>;" >> test.tsx
npx tsc --jsx preserve --lib es2015,dom test.tsx

test.tsx:

import { mock } from 'angular';
const jsx = <h1>jsx</h1>;

To reproduce this, it's important to have all the listed types installed, even if they are not referenced by code:

@types/angular
@types/angular-mocks
@types/react

Expected behavior:

Type checking should succeed.

Actual behavior:

tsc crashes with an error message:

Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

Somehow this depends on using JSX and import { mock } from 'angular' in a single file.
It seems to work OK if you import * as angular from 'angular' and then destructure const { mock } = angular;

stack:

checker.ts (from master):

This code explicitly asserts that moduleSymbol.exports should exist, but it is missing.

        function resolveExternalModuleSymbol(moduleSymbol: Symbol, dontResolveAlias?: boolean): Symbol;
        function resolveExternalModuleSymbol(moduleSymbol: Symbol | undefined, dontResolveAlias?: boolean): Symbol | undefined;
        function resolveExternalModuleSymbol(moduleSymbol: Symbol, dontResolveAlias?: boolean): Symbol {
            if (moduleSymbol) {
                const exportEquals = resolveSymbol(moduleSymbol.exports!.get(InternalSymbolName.ExportEquals), dontResolveAlias);
                const exported = getCommonJsExportEquals(getMergedSymbol(exportEquals), getMergedSymbol(moduleSymbol));
                return getMergedSymbol(exported) || moduleSymbol;
            }
            return undefined!;
        }

debugger shows missing exports for the symbol:
