'rootDir' is expected to contain all source files

See original GitHub issue

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"
    ]
}

should exclude all source filesin tsconfig.json，example:

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

here /tests contain ts source files. see: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/9858

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.
