Infinite TypeScript Type Generation When Using Self-Reference in Module Federation (Rsbuild v2.0)

[Voloshch]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to create a single store instance in the host application (federation_consumer) and use it in both the host and remote applications. However, I am experiencing an issue with infinite TypeScript type generation when using rsbuild with Module Federation v2.0.

• This issue does NOT occur in Rsbuild v1.5.
• It also does NOT occur in production mode (after the build is complete).

The problem seems to be related to the self-reference of the host in rsbuild.config.ts.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure rsbuild.config.ts in the host application:

import { defineConfig } from '@rsbuild/core';
import { pluginReact } from '@rsbuild/plugin-react';
import { pluginModuleFederation } from '@module-federation/rsbuild-plugin';

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    pluginReact(),
    pluginModuleFederation({
      name: 'federation_consumer',
      remotes: {
        federation_provider: 'federation_provider@http://localhost:3000/mf-manifest.json',
        federation_consumer: 'federation_consumer@http://localhost:2000/mf-manifest.json', // Self-reference
      },
      getPublicPath: `function() { return "http://localhost:2000/" }`,
      exposes: {
        './store': './src/store.ts',
      },
      shared: ['react', 'react-dom'],
    }),
  ],
  server: {
    port: 2000,
    headers: {
      'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
    },
  },
});

2. Use the shared store in App.tsx:

import ProviderButton from 'federation_provider/button';
import { useAppStore } from 'federation_consumer/store'; // Importing store from self-reference

const App = () => {
  const { count, reset } = useAppStore();

  console.log(count);

  const onReset = () => {
    reset();
  };

  return (
    <div className="content">
      <h1>Rsbuild with React</h1>
      <p>Start building amazing things with Rsbuild.</p>
      <button onClick={onReset}>Reset</button>
      <div>
        <ProviderButton />
      </div>
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;
