💻 Code

tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "plugins": [
      {
        "name": "missing"
      }
    ]
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

TypeScript doesn't produce any debugging hints, or an error, if compilerOptions.plugins includes a reference to a missing plugin.

🙂 Expected behavior

When a tsconfig contains a compilerOptions.plugins entry that points to a plugin that could not be found, TypeScript should log or produce an error saying that it couldn't be found.

Additional information about the issue

No response

Comienza con el ejemplo de tsconfig.json y el manejo de compilerOptions.plugins; después, usa el caso enlazado de Playground para reproducir el comportamiento de un plugin faltante. Se considera terminado cuando una referencia a un plugin faltante produce la información de logging o de error solicitada sin ignorarse silenciosamente.
