Hello everyone! I've been fighting with an error that claims that a file "is not included in the TypeScript compilation context." I looked over the documentation and discovered that you have to add the
"files":{} property to the tsconfig.json file. I've done so via the "filesGlob":[] property and the auto-generated file list includes the file in question. I've even gone as far as to relocated the project to a path with no spaces wondering if that is the source of the issue. At this point, I've run out of options and welcome any suggestions.
hi all!. quick question..
it seems like node_modules content gets compiled and spits out tons of errors when run build (F6),
that's in spite of my jsconfig.json having"exclude": [
"node_modules/*",
"examples/*"
]
have also tried "files": [
"src/app/app.ts",
}
nothing sticks. still lots of:
ideas?..
Hello @roni-frantchi, I've been fighting with
tsconfig.json issues this morning as well.
Have you tried adding
!node_modules/** to the "filesGlob":[] property and then have it rebuild the file list?
hi @proff321 have just seen your post. seems like you're on the other end of the spectrum - and it won't include any file for you ..?
Well, I tried not including any files at all and I still get the error in my case. No matter what I do, atom continues to tell me that the file in not in the compiler's context.
@proff321 have you tried not specifying the
files property at all? supposedly this will force it to include any and all files
Yep. And I just tried it again to make sure that it was something I tested.
@proff321 at the risk of sounding like your system admin.. did you try to close and reopen atom? i think i read somewhere that you should or it won't detect this sort of changes.. anyway it did not help for me but maybe you're in luck
@proff321
!node_modules/** didn't help either btw
@proff321 it actually generated the
files to include all that's under node_modules/** funny the ! didn't catch on
LOL, well at least my
filesGlob:[] is following the ignores.
Hmmm, do you have your base code folder placed in a DropBox (or something similar) directory?
Well, it looks like my issue could be related to some type of bug.
@proff321 nope. no spaces orr odd characters either.
I just figured out that if you click on the error it will open a ton of tabs that all link to the same file.
@proff321 how so? what'd you find?
If you click on the file in one of the tabs that just opened, the error goes away.
@proff321 ouch.
Well, it looks like I'm filing a bug.
One more thought for you @roni-frantchi have you tried removing all of the
files:{} and excludes:{} and re-generating them from the filesGlob:[] property?
If you try this, make sure that you do no leave a trailing comma after the
"fileGlobs":[] property, otherwise it will not generate the "files":{} property.
@proff321 thanks. still no luck. i also tried
"filesGlob": [
"src/**"
] but it just seem to cause the build progress to start and just hang in there.. so weird
@proff321
Tips : files and exclude (note not excludes ... and I did argue for it ... https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/3188#issuecomment-102720217 but they went with exclude ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) are both arrays ... so files:{} is bad files:[] is good (same for exclude). Also `exclude should just be directory name ("exclude": [ "node_modules", "examples" ])
PS: feel free to file a :bug: :rose:
