💻 Code

/* @jsxRuntime classic */
export const HelloWorld = () => <h1>Hello world</h1>;

🙁 Actual behavior

The jsxRuntime pragma is not respected and function emit follows the jsx option in the TSConfig.

For example, with "jsx": "react-jsx", the function is emitted as

export const HelloWorld = () => _jsx("h1", { children: "Hello world" })

🙂 Expected behavior

The jsxRuntime pragma is respected and the function is emitted as

export const HelloWorld = () => React.createElement("h1", null, "Hello world")
