TS6053

File '{0}' not found.

A file named in tsconfig.json (an `extends` target or a project reference) doesn't exist. Fix the path or install the package.

What it means

The config points at a file that can't be found. ts-r reports this for an extends entry that names a package config which isn't installed (@tsconfig/node22/tsconfig.json is looked up in node_modules) and for a references entry whose path has no tsconfig.json. A relative extends path to a missing file is reported as Cannot read file (TS5083) instead.

Example

tsconfig.json
{
  "extends": "@tsconfig/strictest/tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true,
    "target": "es2022",
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "noEmit": true
  }
}
index.ts
export const x = 1;
ts-r-check -p tsconfig.json --pretty false ts-r output
tsconfig.json(2,14): error TS6053: File '@tsconfig/strictest/tsconfig.json' not found.

Recorded by node scripts/verify-examples.mjs with ts-r built from commit 6deaf01.

How to fix

  • Install the package that provides the extends target, or correct its name.
  • Correct a references path; it is relative to the tsconfig.json that contains it.
