Note: this is a patch port of #60529.
The
TemplateLiteralElementExpr
has some logic where it tries to estimate therawText
if one isn't provided by looking at the node's source span. The problem with this approach is that we have some long-standing issues with our expression AST parser (see #60267 (comment)) where it might not produce accurate spans if escape sequences are involved. This in turn can lead to unrecoverable errors, because TypeScript will throw an error if the raw string doesn't match the cooked one when constructing a TypeScript AST node.These changes remove the logic that depends on the source span and relies purely on the secondary fallback that inserts escaped characters manually.
It's also worth noting that the
rawText
doesn't seem to matter much at this point, because the main usage of it is when downlevelling template literals to ES5 which we no longer support.Fixes #60528.
Fixes #60751.
