Description
This is a dupe of #11333, but that issue was marked as closed/fixed (and locked... why?). It's not. It should be reopened and actually fixed. It's also unrelated to 'npm link'.
IMPORTANT:
my e:\work directory is a JUNCTION point to y:\work
node: 13.5.0
npm: 6.13.4
tsc: 3.7.5
index.ts:
/// <reference path="node_modules/@types/youtube/index.d.ts" />
package.json:
{
"name": "junction-bug",
"scripts": {
"tsc": "tsc index.ts"
},
"devDependencies": {
"@types/youtube": "0.0.38",
"typescript": "^3.7.5"
}
}
NOTE: There is NO reference to 'y:' in any of my project's files, nor in any of npm's files. tsc is erroneously converting relative paths to absolute paths on the destination drive. look for references to y:\ in the output below:
e:\work\junction-bug>dir e:\ | findstr work
04/19/2016 09:02 AM <JUNCTION> work [y:\work]
e:\work\junction-bug>npm i
...
e:\work\junction-bug>findstr /s /i /c:"y:\\" *
e:\work\junction-bug>npm run tsc
> junction-bug@ tsc E:\work\junction-bug
> tsc index.ts

Research direction
Start with the provided index.ts and package.json in a Windows project where e:\work is a junction to y:\work, then run npm install and npm run tsc. Trace how the compiler resolves the referenced node_modules/@types/youtube/index.d.ts and verify that the same file is not reported under both paths; done means the duplicate identifier errors no longer occur.
