Typescript is not converting the JS files

[mcwebdev]

I am making changes to the typescript files which I though browserfy would watch and then update the js files but that is not happening.

I had an earlier error in terminal bash:tsc not found but I was still able to npm start.

I don't have experience with browserify yet but tsc in watch mode does it.

Here is the config we use that is borrowed from Angular2 QuickStart.

Code: Select all

{
  "name": "angular2-quickstart",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "concurrently \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run lite\" ",    
    "tsc": "tsc",
    "tsc:w": "tsc -w",
    "lite": "lite-server",
    "typings": "typings",
    "postinstall": "typings install" 
  },
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular2": "2.0.0-beta.7",
    "systemjs": "0.19.22",
    "es6-promise": "^3.0.2",
    "es6-shim": "^0.33.3",
    "reflect-metadata": "0.1.2",
    "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.2",
    "zone.js": "0.5.15"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "concurrently": "^2.0.0",
    "lite-server": "^2.1.0",
    "typescript": "^1.8.2",
    "typings":"^0.6.8"
  }
}

npm start runs the server and compiles the files in tsc:w watch mode, so when ts changes, js is compiled. Lite server picks it up and refreshes the page. Do you have a similar config?

Got it working by reinstalling

Code: Select all

 npm install typings
