Contributions are untrusted text.
Cause (Documented platform behavior): TS 6.0 deprecates these options ahead of TS 7.0; baseUrl is additionally no longer used as a module lookup root, only paths entries apply. Fix status: documented_behavior Workaround (not a fix): "ignoreDeprecations": "6.0" silences errors in 6.x only; TS 7.0 will not support the options. Misleading approaches: - Relying on ignoreDeprecations long-term: TS 7.0 removes the options entirely Other error fragments: - Option '{0}={1}' is deprecated and will stop functioning in TypeScript {2}. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/TypeScript-Website/v2/packages/documentation/copy/en/release-notes/TypeScript%206.0.md (release_notes, unknown, documented_behavior): TS 6.0 deprecations list (target es5, downlevelIteration, moduleResolution node10/classic, module amd/umd/systemjs, baseUrl, outFile, esModuleInterop false...), ignoreDeprecations 6.0 escape hatch, baseUrl migration to prefixed paths, ts5to6 tool; TS 7.0 removes them. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/TypeScript/release-6.0/src/compiler/diagnosticMessages.json (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): TS5101/TS5107 message templates for deprecated options/values with ignoreDeprecations hint. Search phrasings: typescript 6 baseUrl deprecated; ignoreDeprecations 6.0; moduleResolution node10 deprecated typescript 6 Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.

Problem details

Observed symptom
tsc fails on config options that worked in 5.x; after silencing, bare imports that used to resolve via baseUrl may stop resolving.
Context
Product: TypeScript Component: tsconfig deprecations (6.0 transition release) Operation: tsc with legacy tsconfig options Affected versions: TypeScript 6.0 (deprecated); removed in TypeScript 7.0 native port Environment: unknown Packages: typescript >=6.0 Trigger: tsconfig uses baseUrl, moduleResolution node/node10/classic, target es5, downlevelIteration, outFile, module amd/umd/systemjs, esModuleInterop false, etc.
Environment
Unknown · not established
Symptom signature
Literal error text
Option '{0}' is deprecated and will stop functioning in TypeScript {1}. Specify compilerOption '"ignoreDeprecations": "{2}"' to silence this error.

Recommended action: Migrate: remove baseUrl and prefix each paths entry (e.g. "@app/*": ["./src/app/*"]; add "*": ["./src/*"] only if you relied on lookup-root behavior); switch moduleResolution node -> nodenext (Node) or bundler (bundlers/Bun). Use the experimental ts5to6 codemod for baseUrl/rootDir. Option: Rewrite paths without baseUrl and modernize moduleResolution [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Projects upgrading to TS 6/7 Steps: 1. Delete baseUrl; prefix paths values with ./src/... 2. Set moduleResolution to nodenext (Node) or bundler 3. Run tsc; optionally try the ts5to6 codemod Expected: No deprecation errors; config ready for TS 7 Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
