npx tsc -w is triggering itself after each build

🔎 Search Terms

No amount of exclude or watchOptions seems to have any impact.

I am outputting my JavaScript files along side my TS files, which is what I want, I don't know why it keeps retriggering itself

Output looks like this

> npx tsc --watch --extendedDiagnostics
[08:05:29 PM] Starting compilation in watch mode...

npx tsc --showConfig doesn't show any watchOptions not sure if they are getting picked up

Start by reproducing the loop with the reported npx tsc --watch --extendedDiagnostics command and the project configuration that emits JavaScript beside TypeScript files. Inspect how watchOptions and emitted files interact with watch mode; done means compilation completes without detecting its own output as repeated file changes.
