FATAL ERROR when running `npx tsc`

[pine sequoia]

Hi, I'm fresh to TS and I'm trying to convert an existing small JS project of mine to TS and when I run the command above I get this:

<--- Last few GCs --->

The VS Code process just reaches the 4GB limit and then I get the error.

Can anyone help me on this?

This is my tsconfig.json if it helps:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "esnext" /* Set the JavaScript language version for emitted JavaScript and include compatible library declarations. */,
    "module": "commonjs" /* Specify what module code is generated. */,
    "sourceMap": true /* Create source map files for emitted JavaScript files. */,
    "outDir": "./dist" /* Specify an output folder for all emitted files. */,
    "esModuleInterop": true /* Emit additional JavaScript to ease support for importing CommonJS modules. This enables 'allowSyntheticDefaultImports' for type compatibility. */,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true /* Ensure that casing is correct in imports. */,
    "strict": true /* Enable all strict type-checking options. */,
    "skipLibCheck": true /* Skip type checking all .d.ts files. */
  }
}

no one?

@pine sequoia Not a ton to go on. Has it always done that, or did it work and then stop working?

I just managed to fix, was a really weird edge case, not gonna lie

I had a folder in the project that had some .ts video files

big ones

(blame apple)

and I guess tsc was trying to parse them

I excluded the directory and everything is good

now I just need to fix the 20 TSErrors I got lmao

[covert fossil]

Ah, yeah, that is a weird one, haven't heard of that issue before.

Didn't even know .ts was a video extension

[pine sequoia]

Didn't know until a few days ago

it's a proprietary container from apple afaik

idk how to mark this as resolved tho
