<t>Typescript error "Cannot write file ... because it would overwrite input file."</t>

ayi

<t>In my instance, I was using the outDir option but not excluding the destination directory from the inputs:<br/>
<br/>

// Bad<br/>
{<br/>
    "compileOnSave": true,<br/>
    "compilerOptions": {<br/>
        "outDir": "./dist",<br/>
        "allowJs": true,<br/>
        "target": "es5",<br/>
        "allowUnreachableCode": false,<br/>
        "noImplicitReturns": true,<br/>
        "noImplicitAny": true,<br/>
        "typeRoots": [ "./typings" ],<br/>
        "outFile": "./dist/combined.js"<br/>
    },<br/>
    "include": [<br/>
        "./**/*"<br/>
    ],<br/>
    "exclude": [<br/>
        "./plugins/**/*",<br/>
        "./typings/**/*"<br/>
    ]<br/>
}<br/>
<br/>
```<br/>
<br/>
All we have to do is exclude the files in the **outDir**:<br/>
<br/>
```<br/>
// Good<br/>
{<br/>
    "compileOnSave": true,<br/>
    "compilerOptions": {<br/>
        "outDir": "./dist",<br/>
        "allowJs": true,<br/>
        "target": "es5",<br/>
        "allowUnreachableCode": false,<br/>
        "noImplicitReturns": true,<br/>
        "noImplicitAny": true,<br/>
        "typeRoots": [ "./typings" ],<br/>
        "outFile": "./dist/combined.js"<br/>
    },<br/>
    "include": [<br/>
        "./**/*"<br/>
    ],<br/>
    "exclude": [<br/>
        "./plugins/**/*",<br/>
        "./typings/**/*",<br/>
        "./dist/**/*" // This is what fixed it!<br/>
    ]<br/>
}<br/>
<br/>
```</t>
