mts bundler

🕗 Version & Regression Information
  • This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about Bundler
⏯ Playground Link

cannot test modulerResolution in the playground

💻 Code

tsconfig.json

  moduleResolution: "Bundler"

file.mts

export const hi = 1

file2.mts

import {hi} from './file'
🙁 Actual behavior

fails to find ./file

🙂 Expected behavior

should resolve just like a bundler, so it should find the .mts file

Research direction

Reproduce the case using tsconfig.json with moduleResolution set to Bundler, file.mts, and file2.mts importing './file'. Start by tracing the compiler's Bundler module-resolution path for extensionless imports; done means the .mts file resolves and the behavior has regression coverage.
