No response

💻 Code

In an index.ts file:

export * from './file.ts';

then build it with tsc and "rewriteRelativeImportExtensions": true & "declaration": true in the compilerOptions of your tsconfig.json

🙁 Actual behavior

Built files content:
In the JS file, index.js, the extension is rewritten to .js:

export * from './file.js';

In the declaration file, index.d.ts, the extension is not rewritten to .js:

export * from './file.ts';

🙂 Expected behavior

In the declaration file, the extension should be rewritten to .js too:

export * from './file.js';

Additional information about the issue

It occurs in the current TS 5.7.3 and in the next version (5.8.0-dev.20250123 at this time). Even if TS correctly interprets .d.ts files with .ts extensions in import/export, it's not the case of the IDE I use, PhpStorm. It can't provide a real code assistance with these declaration files.
In fact, I don't really know if it's a feature, a bug or an oversight in tsc, or if rewriteRelativeImportExtensions is just too new to be completely supported by all IDEs! Let me know!

使用启用 rewriteRelativeImportExtensions 和 declaration 的 index.ts 与 tsconfig.json 重现该问题，然后跟踪 tsc 针对该选项的 declaration emit 路径。完成标准是，生成的 .d.ts 将 './file.ts' 一致地重写为 './file.js'，与 JavaScript 输出保持一致，并覆盖报告的案例。
