💻 Code

tsconfig.base.json:

{ "compilerOptions": { "plugins": [{ "name": "my-plugin" }] } }

tsconfig.json:

{ "extends": "./tsconfig.base.json", "compilerOptions": { "module": "nodenext" } }

Then run tsc -p . --showConfig

🙁 Actual behavior

compilerOptions.plugins is absent from the resulting config. A plugins array declared only in a base config never reaches ParsedCommandLine.Raw, it survives only if the leaf tsconfig redeclares it.

🙂 Expected behavior

plugins is inherited from the base config, as with any other compilerOptions entry the child doesn't override (6.0.3 behaviour).

Additional information about the issue

Cause

plugins is the only declared compiler option with no field on core.CompilerOptions, it's carried purely as raw JSON. So mergeCompilerOptions never brings it across, and applyExtendedConfig's raw-JSON merge only handles include/exclude/files/contentMappers/compileOnSave.

Possibly related

root-level watchOptions looks like the same issue.

Fix

I have a fix with tests ready and am happy to open a PR.

mergeCompilerOptions と applyExtendedConfig から始め、compilerOptions.plugins がどのように ParsedCommandLine.Raw に到達するかを追ってください。tsc -p . --showConfig でケースを再現し、その後、拡張された tsconfig の plugins が再宣言なしに結果の設定に現れることを示す回帰テストを追加してください。
