Question

Hi All!

So, I'm trying to run typedoc --watch in a monorepo repository but I'm facing the following error:

The provided tsconfig file looks like a solution style tsconfig, which is not supported in watch mode

In the root typedoc.json I have the following config:

{
  "$schema": "https://typedoc.org/schema.json",
  "name": ...,
  "out": "docs",
  "media": "./media",
  "entryPointStrategy": "packages",
  "entryPoints": ["packages/lib"],
  "sort": ["source-order"],
  "categorizeByGroup": false,
  "searchCategoryBoosts": {
    "Base": 1.2,
    "Inputs": 2
  },
  "visibilityFilters": {},
  "excludePrivate": true,
  "includeVersion": true,
  "excludeNotDocumented": true
}

In the packages/lib folder I have the following configs:

package.json

{
  "name": ...,
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "main": "dist/index.js",
  "types": "dist/index.d.ts",
  "type": "module",
  "files": [
    "dist/*"
  ],
  "exports": { ... },
  "typesVersions": { ... },
  "typedoc": {
    "entryPoint": "./src/typedocs.ts",
    "tsconfig": "./tsconfig.json"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "tsup --watch",
    "build": "tsup",
    "docs:build": "typedoc",
    "docs:watch": "typedoc --watch"
  },
  "license": "MIT",
  "devDependencies": {
    "tsup": "^6.7.0",
    "typescript": "^5.0.2"
  }
}

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ESNext",
    "useDefineForClassFields": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "lib": ["ESNext", "DOM"],
    "strict": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    // "outFile": "./dist/index.d.ts",
    "rootDir": "./src",
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    "declaration": true,
    "declarationDir": "./dist/",
    "emitDeclarationOnly": true,
    "allowJs": false,
    "paths": { ... }
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

./src/typedocs.ts is a series of exports (I'm developing a multiple entry points lib)

Please, what am I doing wrong? 😥

Cheers,
