bug: Is `index.ts` supposed to be missing when `TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR` is set?

[asimpletune]

Describe the bug
Setting the TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR seems to produce all the bindings but no index.ts file.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Generate some bindings with TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR set, e.g. for me it was on a project I was working on:

TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR='mail-parser-ts/bindings' cargo test export_bindings --features ts-bindings

Expected behavior
I'm new to the project but shouldn't index.ts be included?

Screenshots
tar -tzf mail-parser-ts-bindings-0.9.1.tgz (WITHOUT TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR set)

tar -tzf mail-parser-ts-bindings-0.9.1.tgz (WITH TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR set)

Version

What version of the library are you using?

I'm using 10.1

Additional context

Add any other context about the problem here.

I guess the only context is that I need to change the output directory of the resulting bindings, as I have a multi-workspace npm package that I'm working on. Right now I'm just copy -r bindings. Maybe there's a right way to do it? I don't know! But thanks for reading.

If it helps, the specific branch I'm working on is here https://github.com/asimpletune/mail-parser/tree/wasm-v-0.9.1

TS_RS_EXPORT_DIR='mail-parser-ts/bindings' cargo test export_bindings --features ts-bindings

should reproduce what I'm seeing, if it even is an issue. Thanks.

This is very odd, AFAIK the only branch we have that generates an index.ts file with export * from "<OTHER_FILES>" is the cli branch in #304. From what I can see in your repo, you are using the Cargo version, so the index file should not have been created at all.

Is it possible you have some other tool that created this file? Maybe something related to your npm workspaces?

[gustavo-shigueo]

I'm new to the project but shouldn't index.ts be included?

As of right now, no, because there is no way for ts-rs to wait for all exports to be done in order to generate this file, this is one of the reasons we've been developing a CLI tool for ts-rs

/bindings already contains an index.ts, while mail-parser-ts/bindings doesn't.
We currently do not generate an index.ts file, @gustavo-shigueo mentioned. So I assume you created that yourself?

[gustavo-shigueo]

Closing this issue as the index.ts file was never generated by ts-rs in the first place

[asimpletune]

Well that would explain it. I must have created the index file and forgotten about it. Thanks for taking the time to look.
