Unused functions are not being detected about knip HOT 5 OPEN

By default, Knip does not report unused exports in entry files.

@webpro thank you for responding, but that is not the case. This is not about the entry point file. The pattern occurs within other files that are not the entry point file.

The src/test.ts file can also be an entry file, depending on the enabled plugins. That's why I'd need a reproduction to properly look into it.

You can also use --debug to get more verbose output, maybe it clears things up.

I gave a very simple example. Add any other file as an entrypoint besides this other file as an example that I mentioned above.

You should have as behavior, that the unused function will not be detected.

My case is that I have a very large project, in which Knip is not able to detect many unused functions, and ts-prune can.
I tried to demonstrate a basic example of how to reproduce, because I believe that Knip should be able to replace ts-prune.

Sorry, but without a reproduction there's nothing for me to look into. I hope you understand I can't copy-paste everyone's "how to reproduce" dumps.

There's reasons Knip works the way it does by default. There's various ways Knip can be configured to make it behave as you need.

Maybe you're looking for flags like these:

• https://knip.dev/reference/configuration#includeentryexports
• https://knip.dev/reference/configuration#ignoreexportsusedinfile
