Re-exporting types is incompatible with --isolatedModules=true

[hjfreyer]

See this thread about the incompatibility of the two features: https://www.reddit.com/r/typescript/comments/e9span/isolatedmodules_prevents_exporting_a_type_from_a/

It'd be nice to have a flag that simply causes these types to not be re-exported (I'm not totally sure why they are in the first place). Workaround is just to delete the line that re-exports, for example, with sed:

sed -i "/^export [{]/d" $file.validator.ts

Thanks @hjfreyer.

This was an issue for me aswell and your workaround works like a charm.

I'm using a mac so when running the app locally I needed to do this to run the same command sed -i '' "/^export [{]/d" $file.validator.ts note the '' after the -i flag.

I hope hjfreyer's suggestion is considered at some point.

Same problem. Thanks for the workaround @hjfreyer
