Renaming js to ts requires server restart

[rsmith-cs-ux]

Hi there!

While running ember s, whenever I generate a new component everything works just fine and the changes are automatically detected. But when I rename the file from .js to .ts (because I'm using typescript) I have to restart the server because the changes break everything. It would be great if it could detect the change and handle it properly. I filed the issue with ember-cli and they said it sounded like an issue with ember-cli-typescript (ember-cli/ember-cli#9345).

Thanks!

User story

As a user, I want to rename files from .js to .ts without having to restart the ember server.

I believe this is related to #724, and should be a function of the ember-cli-babel build, not anything ember-cli-typescript does anymore, assuming you're on a sufficiently recent version of both ember-cli-babel and ember-cli-typescript: does this reproduce on latest of both? If so, it's actually a fundamental limitation in the way the build pipeline works. If not, I'm very curious what the issue would be.

We now recommend that people switch to using ember-cli-babel for apps (as documented here) and the rollup plugin configured as part of the v2 add-on build for add-ons, in conjunction with running glint or tsc directly on their projects. Accordingly, although this should not be an issue, even if it is we will not be addressing it, as we are moving this package into maintenance mode. Thanks!
