feat(http-client-python): migrate eng scripts from tsx to native Node.js TypeScript by Copilot · Pull Request #11425 · microsoft/typespec

Copilot · 2026-07-28T17:34:45Z

Mirrors the change from Azure/typespec-azure#5068: replace tsx as the TypeScript script runner with Node.js native TypeScript support (Node 22+ strips types natively).

Changes

package.json: Replace all tsx ./eng/scripts/... invocations with node ./eng/scripts/...; remove tsx from dependencies
eng/scripts/setup/*.ts and eng/scripts/ci/regenerate.ts: Change relative imports from .js → .ts extensions (required for native Node TS resolution)
Help text / comments: Update tsx <script>.ts usage examples to node <script>.ts

Fixed in the latest commit. The root cause: Node.js native type stripping doesn't do import elision — it strips type annotations but leaves import statements untouched. SpawnOptions (an interface in child_process) and RegenerateContext/RegenerateFlags (interfaces in regenerate-common.ts) were imported as values, which fails at runtime since they have no runtime representation. Added the type keyword inline on those imports:

system-requirements.ts: import { ChildProcess, spawn, type SpawnOptions }
regenerate.ts: type RegenerateContext, type RegenerateFlags

pm install typespec-http-client-python-0.35.0.tgz
...

Fixed in the latest commit.

Root cause: Node.js 22+ native TypeScript type stripping is explicitly disabled for files under node_modules — even though the .ts source and .ts-extension imports work fine in the repo's own dev context, they fail when the package is installed as a dependency.

Fix:

eng/scripts/setup/tsconfig.build.json — new TypeScript config that compiles all eng/scripts/setup/*.ts → dist/scripts/setup/*.js, using rewriteRelativeImportExtensions: true (TS 5.7+) so .ts import specifiers become .js in the compiled output.
install-runner.js / prepare-runner.js — small plain-JavaScript bootstrappers (no TypeScript syntax) that:
- Use the pre-compiled dist/scripts/setup/install.js when available (i.e., when installed from npm/tgz — the dist/** is already in files)
- Fall back to native TS stripping on ./install.ts in the dev/repo context (not under node_modules)
package.json:
- install: now node ./eng/scripts/setup/install-runner.js
- prepare: now node ./eng/scripts/setup/prepare-runner.js
- build: appends && tsc -p ./eng/scripts/setup/tsconfig.build.json so the compiled JS is always present in the tgz

Fixed in the latest commits. The Windows failure was ERR_UNSUPPORTED_ESM_URL_SCHEME because ESM import() requires file:// URLs — passing a raw D:\... path fails. Both runner files now use pathToFileURL(compiledPath).href before the dynamic import. Also merged main (which added the check-unstaged script to ci).

Done — sorted the node:url/node:path imports into alphabetical order in both install-runner.js and prepare-runner.js (the only files that had out-of-order imports after the prettier-plugin-organize-imports check).
