Typescript tsc -w命令不监视文件更改

Question

I am currently trying to configure my application to watch for any file changes in Typescript and then recompile and restart the server when this happens. Here is my tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "rootDir" : "assets/app",
    "outDir": "../public/js/app"
  },
  "files": [
    "./assets/app/*"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ],
  "atom": {
    "rewriteTsconfig": true
  }
}

As you can see, I have set the rootDir (where the .ts files are kept) and set the output directory (where there transpiled code is stored).

Here is my file structure:

Now, when I try and run the tsc -w command I get the following error:

error TS6053: File 'assets/app/*.ts' not found.

Which would indicate that the tsconfig.json file is not properly parsing my ts files from within the rootDir folder properly. I have tried changing this but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Not sure how it is with the atom editor, because they have some different settings, but as far as i know, you cannot use files with exclude . Because you already point to the rootDir , the files option is redundant, and should be removed
