Search Terms:
top level await es2020 module
tsconfig.json
"target":"es2020"
"module":"es2020"
Code
await 1;
Expected behavior:
OK if "module":"esnext" in tsconfig.json
OK if "module":"es2020" in tsconfig.json
Actual behavior:
OK if "module":"esnext" in tsconfig.json
KO if "module":"es2020" in tsconfig.json <----- :'(
Top-level 'await' expressions are only allowed when the 'module' option is set to 'esnext' or 'system', and the 'target' option is set to 'es2017' or higher. ts(1378)

"module":"es2020" is not available on Typescript playground.
