📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The migration controller updates dependency targets for NativeScript, Angular, TypeScript, runtimes, and the unit test runner. It also adds TypeScript 6 configuration migration logic and updates Angular’s zone.js target.

Changes

Migration controller updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core migration dependency targets
lib/controllers/migrate-controller.ts
NativeScript packages, runtimes, the unit test runner, and TypeScript use updated desired versions.
TypeScript 6 configuration migration
lib/controllers/migrate-controller.ts
The migration removes baseUrl and downlevelIteration, rebases paths and typeRoots, adds the default type roots path, and sets default strict and skipLibCheck values.
Angular migration dependency targets
lib/controllers/migrate-controller.ts
Angular packages and zone.js use updated desired versions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 61d58

The migration can generate package manifests that cannot install and can break local module or type resolution in existing projects. It is not merge-ready until these migration behaviors are corrected.

Use published NativeScript dependency ranges before migration.

@nativescript/core@~9.1.0, @nativescript/ios@~9.1.0, and @nativescript/android@~9.1.0 are not published, so these targets can make ns migrate write package manifests that cannot install. @angular/core@~22.0.0 is published and is not part of this issue. Use published NativeScript ranges or defer this migration until the 9.1.0 releases are available.

TypeScript 6.0 release notes baseUrl removed paths wildcard compatibility replacement

💡 Result:

In TypeScript 6.0, the baseUrl compiler option has been deprecated and is no longer considered a look-up root for module resolution [1][2]. This change was made because baseUrl often created confusing module resolution behavior by acting as a global look-up root, whereas most developers primarily used it only as a prefix for path-mapping entries [1][2]. Replacement and Migration To replace baseUrl, you should update your configuration based on how you were using it: 1. If you used baseUrl as a prefix for paths: The most common use case was simply to provide a base directory for your path mappings. You can resolve this by removing the baseUrl property entirely and prepending the former baseUrl value directly to each entry in your paths object [1][2]. Example migration: // Before { "compilerOptions": { "baseUrl": "./src", "paths": { "@app/": ["app/"] } } } // After { "compilerOptions": { "paths": { "@app/": ["./src/app/"] } } } 2. If you used baseUrl as a module look-up root: If your project relied on baseUrl to resolve modules from a specific directory, you can replicate this behavior by adding a catch-all mapping to your paths configuration [1][2]. Example catch-all: { "compilerOptions": { "paths": { "": ["./src/"] } } } Tooling Support To assist with these changes, the TypeScript team recommends using the experimental ts5to6 tool, which can automatically adjust baseUrl and rootDir configurations across your codebase [1][2]. Additionally, a community-maintained script (ts-fix-baseurl) is available to help automate the migration of path entries [3][4].

Preserve baseUrl bare-specifier resolution.

When baseUrl is set, this migration deletes it but adds no mapping if paths is absent. A bare local import can then stop resolving under TypeScript 6. Add paths["*"] with toRelative("*"), while preserving any existing wildcard targets. Add a fixture that covers baseUrl: "./src" without paths and a bare local import.

TypeScript 6 tsconfig types default [] typeRoots behavior official documentation

💡 Result:

In TypeScript 6.0, the typeRoots compiler option maintains its long-standing behavior regarding default inclusion, while the related types option has undergone a significant change [1][2]. Default Behavior of typeRoots: The default behavior of typeRoots remains unchanged in TypeScript 6.0 [3][4]. When typeRoots is not explicitly specified in your tsconfig.json, TypeScript automatically includes all visible "@types" packages [3]. These are resolved by looking for node_modules/@types folders in the current directory and all enclosing ancestor directories [3][5]. Relationship with the types Option: It is important to distinguish this from the types option, which defaults to [] (an empty array) as of TypeScript 6.0 [1][2]. 1. typeRoots: Controls which directories the compiler scans to find global @types packages [3][4]. If you specify typeRoots, you override the default search path, and only packages within the listed directories will be considered [3]. 2. types: Controls which specific packages from the discovered typeRoots (or the default @types folders) are included in the compilation [6][1]. Because types now defaults to [], simply having @types packages in your node_modules is no longer sufficient to automatically include them in your global scope [1][7]. Migration Note: If you need to restore the legacy behavior where all visible @types packages are automatically included, you can explicitly set "types": ["*"] in your compilerOptions [8]. Otherwise, most projects should explicitly list the packages they require, such as "types": ["node"] [1][7].

Preserve typeRoots paths and restore automatic type inclusion.

typeRoots entries resolve relative to tsconfig.json, but toRelative resolves them against baseUrl. For baseUrl: "./src" and typeRoots: ["./types"], the migration produces ["./src/types", "./node_modules/@types"], so the custom declarations are missed. Preserve the original typeRoots entries. When types is unset, also set it to ["*"]; TypeScript 6 defaults types to [], so adding ./node_modules/@types alone does not include its packages. Add a fixture that checks both custom declarations and automatic @types inclusion.
