Angular language service (View Engine version) uses getExternalFiles() to add html templates to the ConfiguredProject. For each file, tsserver will get or create a script info, and attach it to the project.
However, if the file does not exist on disk, no script info will be created, but tsserver does not handle this case.

Specifically,scriptInfo returned by this.projectService.getOrCreateScriptInfoNotOpenedByClient() could be undefined.

TypeScript Version: 4.2.0-dev.20201130

Note the unsafe non-null assertion at the end of line 1191:

Expected behavior:
tsserver does not crash if script info for external file could not be created.

tsserver crashes when script info for external file could not be created.
