Have you enabled hybrid mode? And check if __globalTypes_3.4_false.d.ts exists.

[Tommytrg]

I have hybrid mode enabled and I don't see any error in vscode.

I had the issue after upgrading vue-tsc to 2.1.2. If I downgrade back to 2.0.29, it works.

[KazariEX]

This problem may be related to whether the file system is case-sensitive.

Could you try converting the __globalTypes_3.4_false.d.ts file located under vue/dist to lowercase and checking if tsc passes?

[Tommytrg]

That's the problem. tsc passes when the file name is lowercase.

Also, my file system is case-sensitive:

[KazariEX]

That's a bit weird, please use this workaround temporarily.

I saw the same issue on Linux / ext4 right after upgrading vue-tsc from 2.0.29 to 2.1.2 earlier. However, in the last hour or so I've switched branches a few times (-> downgrading & upgrading vue-tsc a few more times), deleted my node_modules etc. and now the error no longer shows up. Weird.

Can you try using pkg.pr.new to see if #4749 fixes the problem?

pnpm add https://pkg.pr.new/vuejs/language-tools/vue-tsc@4749

[Tommytrg]

#4749 fixes the problem. Thank you for the quick reply
