TS5083

Cannot read file 'base.json'.

Broken Code ❌

{
  "extends": "./base.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": ["dom", "es6"],
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "outDir": "dist",
    "rootDir": "src",
    "target": "es6"
  }
}

Fixed Code ✔️

Your TS config is extending another config (called base.json) which cannot be found. Make sure that this file (base.json) exists or remove your extends property.
