Incorrect tsc --build compilation that is dependent on project references (using NPM workspaces)

[JSin]

Bug Report

I am getting results from tsc --build that I don't expect that change depending on the order of the project references order. I have included a repo to best showcase the error.

🔎 Search Terms

Compilation differs based on project references order even for projects that do not link.

🕗 Version & Regression Information

• This is the behavior in every version I tried (4.7.4 and 4.8.3), and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about project references

⏯ Playground Link

Can't be done in Playground, included repo below.

💻 Code

Grab repo:

git clone git@github.com:JSin/ts-bug-project-references.git
cd ts-bug-project-references
npm i

To run the issue tsconfig:

npx tsc --build --clean tsconfig.build.issue.json # only needed to run to clean start
npx tsc --build --verbose tsconfig.build.issue.json

To run the working tsconfig but with a different project references order:

npx tsc --build --clean tsconfig.build.working.json # only needed to run to clean start
npx tsc --build --verbose tsconfig.build.working.json

🙁 Actual behavior

Actual behaviour of the tsconfig that causes an error (running npx tsc --build --verbose tsconfig.build.issue.json with a clean repo)

Found 1 error.

🙂 Expected behavior

Can be seen by running npx tsc --build --verbose tsconfig.build.working.json in a clean repo
