# Troubleshooting

# File not found by the project service

If the ESLint CLI throws the following error:

Parsing error: xyz.ts was not found by the project service. Consider either including it in the tsconfig.json or including it in allowDefaultProject.

This usually means that the project's tsconfig.json file does not include the specified file, in this example, xyz.ts.

To fix the issue:

  1. Open the project's tsconfig.json file.
  2. Locate the include field.
  3. Make sure the pattern includes the missing file. If the include field is unnecessary, you can remove it entirely, TypeScript will then include all files in the project by default.
