Ensured tsc builds successfully with current configurations. Added foundational tests for files: [] and composite edge cases. Verified behavior for ambiguous container projects, such as tsconfig.json with no actionable task. Confirmed alignment with TypeScript’s existing design goals, including: Non-breaking changes. No impact on JavaScript output or runtime behavior.
…Baselines Verified and accepted changes to ensure consistency with the expected output. Fixed a bug where configFileParsingDiagnostics could be undefined, causing runtime errors (Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'push')). Added guards to ensure diagnostics arrays are always initialized before use. Improved code resilience and prevented potential runtime errors in edge cases.

Fixes #60479
This PR improves the TypeScript compiler's behavior when encountering ambiguous configurations in
tsconfig.json, such as when thefilesarray is empty. The goal is to ensure users get clear, actionable feedback instead of silent failures or confusing results.New Diagnostic Added
A new error message, TS6042, helps developers understand what to do when there’s no actionable task in their configuration.
Example message: "No actionable task. Add 'composite': true, valid 'references', or use 'tsc -b'."
Clearer Guidance for Edge Cases
Handles configurations like
files: [], ensuring diagnostics are surfaced instead of failing silently.Helps developers understand best practices, such as enabling
compositeor using project references.Additional Tests
Added new tests to cover the following scenarios:
tsconfig.jsonhas an emptyfilesarray and valid child references.composite: truebut no references.--noEmitflag, ensuring the flag works alongside the new diagnostics.When a
tsconfig.jsonhas an emptyfilesarray or lacks actionable tasks, it can be frustrating to debug why nothing happens. These updates aim to:
