🕗 Version & Regression Information

When running an Angular project on stackblitz (on the old runtime, not Webcontainers), typescript.js throws

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'timeOrigin')
    at tryGetPerformanceHooks (typescript.js:5266:27)

This happens on 5.5.3, but downgrading to 5.4 fixes the issue.

The typescript code probably isn't defensive enough depending on the runtime.

That doesn't seem to be an issue with TypeScript itself.

That's debatable, the root cause here is that isNodeLikeSystem() returns true on their web worker even though it's not a node environment.

require("perf_hooks") returns undefined.

TypeScript/src/compiler/performanceCore.ts

Lines 31 to 39 in ec446b6

	if (isNodeLikeSystem()) {
	try {
	// By default, only write native events when generating a cpu profile or using the v8 profiler.
	const { performance } = require("perf_hooks") as typeof import("perf_hooks");
	return {
	shouldWriteNativeEvents: false,
	performance,
	};
	}

I'll make the code more resilient, but it's a little unfortunate that StackBlitz has chosen to make the require not throw, but return an empty object or something.
