Build Error in ReactPress - error TS6053: File 'src/*.ts' not found

The folder reactpress/config/src/ is empty

ReactPress tries to compile TypeScript config files with:

tsc src/*.ts

…but since there are no .ts files inside /config/src, the build script fails.

This is a known bug in ReactPress v1.6.0.

Fix 1 — Create an empty TypeScript file

This is the easiest fix and works immediately.

Inside:

reactpress/config/src/

Create a file named:

index.ts

It can be empty or contain:

export {};

Then run:

pnpm run dev

✔ Build passes

✔ ReactPress starts

✔ No impact on functionality

Fix 2 — Change the config build command to avoid wildcard

Open:

reactpress/config/package.json

Find this line:

"build": "tsc src/*.ts --outDir lib --skipLibCheck --declaration"

Replace it with:

"build": "tsc --project tsconfig.json"

Or simply:

"build": "tsc"

Then run:

pnpm run dev

✔ Works even if src/ is empty

✔ Correct TypeScript behavior

Fix 3 — Copy missing config files from a working version

If you want the intended default config, copy from ReactPress 1.5 or 1.4:

Create files:

reactpress/config/src/index.ts

reactpress/config/src/types.ts

Example content:

index.ts

export const defaultConfig = {};

types.ts

export type Config = Record<string, any>;

Then run again.
