🕗 Version & Regression Information
- This is a crash
- This changed between versions 5.0.0-dev.20230109 and 5.0.0-dev.20230110
- This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about file names
⏯ Playground Link
No response
💻 Code
const TS = require('typescript')
const res = TS.transpileModule('export const x = 6;', {
fileName: 'test.d.tsp.ts',
});
console.log(res)
🙁 Actual behavior
The Typescript compiler crashes. The compiler should allow files that contain .d. in their name.
🙂 Expected behavior
The compilation succeeds

Research direction
Start with the TS.transpileModule reproduction in the issue, using the filename test.d.tsp.ts and the TypeScript versions shown. Compare the failing output-generation path with the successful older version and add a regression test for filenames containing .d.; done means transpilation succeeds with output and no crash.
