After #1277, Start sandboxes load Rolldown 1.2.9. AI examples still extend ../../../tsconfig.json from the monorepo. In WebContainer that path is /tsconfig.json, and Rolldown throws Tsconfig not found /tsconfig.json.

This PR strips extends entries that walk out of the example when the sandbox workspace is built. GitHub source stays unchanged. Local pnpm dev in the AI repo is unchanged.

Testing

Commands run:

  1. Isolated Vite 8.2.1 + Rolldown 1.2.9 app with extends: "../../../tsconfig.json" and resolve.tsconfigPaths: true failed with Tsconfig not found C:/Users/AlemTuzlak/AppData\tsconfig.json.
  2. The same app built after that extends line was removed.
  3. pnpm exec tsx --test tests/rewrite-tsconfig-extends.test.ts tests/rewrite-workspace-protocol.test.ts tests/repository-example.test.ts tests/example-webcontainer-start.test.ts passed.
  4. Pre-commit pnpm run test on the original commit: 530 passed, 3 skipped.

Manual test after deploy:

  1. Open https://tanstack.com/ai/latest/docs/framework/react/examples/basic-chat
  2. Wait for the sandbox to start Vite.
  3. Confirm there is no Tsconfig not found /tsconfig.json error.
  4. Open tsconfig.json in the sandbox editor. The extends line that pointed at the monorepo must be gone. @/* paths stay.

How this PR makes testing easy: tests/rewrite-tsconfig-extends.test.ts pins the Basic Chat ../../../tsconfig.json case and the keep/drop array cases.

Risk / rollback

Start docs examples already use a self-contained tsconfig, so this rewrite does nothing for them. If an example needed compiler options only from the parent tsconfig, the sandbox would miss those options. Revert this PR to restore the original files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Repository examples now handle TypeScript configuration inheritance that points outside the example workspace.
    • Invalid or unsupported configuration files remain unchanged.
    • Valid local and package-based configuration references continue to work correctly.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for filtering external inheritance entries, preserving valid references, handling invalid JSON, and applying the fix during repository example creation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The repository example flow now rewrites escaping extends entries in tsconfig files before workspace creation. The change supports string and array values, preserves valid references, leaves invalid JSON unchanged, and adds focused tests.

Changes

Tsconfig extends rewriting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rewrite escaping extends values
src/utils/repository-example.ts
The helper identifies tsconfig files, removes relative extends references that escape the example, filters arrays, preserves valid references, and keeps invalid JSON unchanged.
Apply rewriting during workspace creation
src/utils/repository-example.ts, tests/rewrite-tsconfig-extends.test.ts
Repository example creation passes rewritten files to createExampleWorkspace. Tests cover direct rewriting and integration behavior.

Examples using standard commented or trailing-comma tsconfig files can still fail to start in WebContainer when they inherit an external configuration. Parse tsconfig files as JSONC before merging.

Parse tsconfig files as JSONC.

TypeScript accepts comments and trailing commas in tsconfig files. parseJsonObject uses strict JSON.parse, so a valid JSONC file with extends: "../../../tsconfig.json" is left unchanged. The escaping reference then reaches the WebContainer workspace and can trigger the documented startup failure.

Use a JSONC parser only for rewriteTsconfigExtends, and add a test for a commented or trailing-comma tsconfig.
