Solution

  • To resolve this, I had to set the tsconfig.json file (and others) to not deploy, and remove it from Elements.xml in the root of the project.

    enter image description here

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <Module Name="RootModule">
  </Module>
</Elements>
