💻 Code

const enum NotSoAwesomeConstEnum {
  SomeValue,
  AnotherOne
}


function dosomething(state: NotSoAwesomeConstEnum): void {
  switch (state) {
    case NotSoAwesomeConstEnum.SomeValue:
      console.log('SomeValue');
      break;
    case NotSoAwesomeConstEnum.AnotherOne:
      console.log('AnotherOne');
      break;
  }
}

🙁 Actual behavior

The emitted code is not the same when using isolatedModules.

🙂 Expected behavior

The emitted code should be the same when using isolatedModules as it is described as nothing else but a check

Setting the isolatedModules flag tells TypeScript to warn you if you write certain code that can’t be correctly interpreted by a single-file transpilation process.

const enum values should be inlined even when using this flag. (Or an error should be emitted).

Additional information about the issue

From the documentation:

It does not change the behavior of your code, or otherwise change the behavior of TypeScript’s checking and emitting process.

Which is not true, at least for const enum as this prevents inlining.
See the playground link and https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/16671#issuecomment-1686858424

Start with the linked TypeScript Playground and compare the emitted code with and without isolatedModules for the const enum example. Trace the compiler path responsible for const enum handling and determine whether values should be inlined or an error should be reported; done means matching output or a clear diagnostic.
