📚 Description

writeTypes resolves an auto-import such as nitro/h3 to the exported target lib/h3.mjs. It then tries to rebuild the public ./h3 subpath. That path does not exist as a file, and package exports do not apply once Nitro writes it as a relative filesystem import. Stripping .mjs from the resolved target also prevents TypeScript from finding the adjacent lib/h3.d.mts declaration.

Nitro now keeps the resolved target and its extension when the rebuilt public subpath is not a file. Existing files still use the previous extension-stripping behavior.

The regression test recreates the published ./h3 to ./lib/h3.mjs layout. It checks the generated lib/h3.mjs import, compiles Nitro's declaration with noImplicitAny, and verifies that a consumer receives the literal type from h3.d.mts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Package subpath resolution now preserves extensions for missing or invalid targets. Tests verify the generated import specifier and compile the generated declarations with TypeScript bundler resolution.

Changes

Package subpath resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Validated subpath fallback src/build/types.ts, test/unit/types-imports.test.ts	Resolution selects existing file subpaths and preserves the resolved extension for invalid targets. Tests verify the generated ../../export-subpath-pkg/lib/h3.mjs import and compile the generated declarations with tsc.
