@scope/my-lib/index is imported by....but could not be resolved – treating it as an external dependency

• I'm submitting a ... [X] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] question about the decisions made in the repository

• What is the current behavior? If I have 2 library on the second one is depending of the first one, I get this error/warning:

  [13:06:41] Finished '!build:webpack' after 9 s
  [13:06:41] Starting '!build:rollup:fesm'...

  But I added in my rollup configuration:

  const globals = {
  ...
  '@scope/common': 'sxpbelux.common',
  ...
  }

• What is the expected behavior? To not have this warning. I am not an expert but why the /index is added to my lib ?

The /index is added to your code by the angular compiler, more accurately tsickle which is used by the angular compiler.

This is a known bug, see the examples pages, at the end of the page there is a comment about that.

The solution is not using an index.ts files as your entry point.

In that page you'll see examples of how to achieve that

It works, thank you ! I didn't see your comment...

Just to summarize:

• Rename your src/index.ts -> src/my-lib.ts
• Add in your package.json:

  {
  "description": "my-lib",
  "libConfig": {
  "entry": "my-lib"
  },
