Typescript error “Cannot write file … because it would overwrite input file.”

Question

In my Typescript 2.2.1 project in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, I am getting hundreds of errors in the error list like:

Cannot write file \'C:/{{my-project

Answer 1

I had the same issue. In my case it was caused, because I had two files with the same name in one module: index.ts index.tsx.

I renamed one of them and the problem got fixed.
