Bug Report

The output of transpileModule did not preserve the value exports from the input module when the identifier also matches a type. This does not happen when compiling the project using tsc or with verbatimModuleSyntax enabled.

🕗 Version & Regression Information

Interestingly the error that is appearing in the playground

Import declaration conflicts with local declaration of 'Component'.(2440)

Is not appearing for the same code in VSCode for a repo version of the issue: https://github.com/acutmore/transpile-module-bug

💻 Code

// exports.ts
import fooValue from "./values";
import type {Foo} from "./types";

const Foo: Foo = fooValue as any as Foo;

export {Foo};

import tsc from "typescript";
import * as fs from "node:fs";

const result = tsc.transpileModule(fs.readFileSync("./exports.ts", "utf-8"), {
    compilerOptions: {
        "verbatimModuleSyntax": false,
        "importsNotUsedAsValues": "error",
        "ignoreDeprecations": "5.0",
        "module": "ESNext"
    }
});

🙁 Actual behavior

import fooValue from "./values";
var Foo = fooValue;

🙂 Expected behavior

import fooValue from "./values";
var Foo = fooValue;
export { Foo };
