Can you share the compiler options in your tsconfig. They should include "webworker"
{
"compilerOptions": {
"lib": ["esnext", "webworker"]
}
}
You will have to create multiple tsconfig, one for your Service Worker and another for the rest of your project.

I've followed the same in my repo
Ouch, that definitely works but I guess was super non-obvious about that. Thanks for the info and resolution, I think I'll have to update the structure of my project a bit but can workaround it.
