TypeScript Version: ^4.0.2

Search Terms: "has not been built from source file", "project-references", "typecheck without emit"

Description

In monorepo with project-references it's not possible to use tsc for type check only without emitting files.
Whereas calling tsc -b works without any issues. But there's no point in emitting files if we only need to perform type check of all related modules.

It seems that is should be possible because of: #32028

Expected behavior:

tsc with --noEmit builds all referenced projects without emitting anything:

tsc --noEmit -p ./zoo Found 0 errors.

Actual behavior:

It fails because no built files are found for referenced projects:

tsc --noEmit -p ./zoo zoo/zoo.ts:1:32 - error TS6305: Output file '/Users/val/Desktop/patch/project-references-demo/lib/core/index.d.ts' has not been built from source file '/Users/val/Desktop/patch/project-references-demo/core/index.ts'. > import { makeRandomName } from "@p/core";
