Hey @kirkstrobeck thanks for reporting.

1. Why are you importing a tsx file into your checkly CLI config? Just want to know your use case.
2. Can you share some example code?

[kirkstrobeck]

I had a test, foo.spec.ts and it was importing a file, shared.tsx, that had a value I wanted to assert in an expect.

Examples

// shared.tsx
const base = {
  greeting: <>Hey there<br />Bob</>,
  greetingButtonText: 'Hey there',
};

export default base;

// foo.spec.ts
import { test } from '@playwright/test';
import base from './shared';

test('button text matches shared.tsx greetingButtonText', async ({ page }) => {
  // Navigate to the page where the button is located
  await page.goto('YOUR_PAGE_URL');

  // Locate the button by a selector (update the selector as per your HTML structure)
  const buttonText = await page.textContent('SELECTOR_FOR_YOUR_BUTTON');

  // Assert that the text of the button matches greetingButtonText from shared.tsx
  test.expect(buttonText).toBe(base.greetingButtonText);
});

@kirkstrobeck I see! As it's just a text based dependency, not some NPM package or large binary file, I think that would be possible.

@kirkstrobeck do you expect the .tsx file to be compiled? As that would be more of an edge case to support.

[tnolet]

@kirkstrobeck just bumping this question. Importing .tsx is not something we can directly support as it requires a extra parsing. Shall we turn this into a feature request?

[kirkstrobeck]

I would expect it to warn properly. Something like “You’re trying to import a .tsx file, which is not supported.” Should also handle any other unexpected file extensions.
