No compile time errors for TypeScript

Question

I am failing to get compile time errors or successful builds for TypeScript in VS 2012. I am using this in my project file:

<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
    <Exec Command="&quot;$(PROGRAMFILES)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\0.8.0.0\tsc --module amd -target ES5         &quot; @(TypeScriptCompile ->'&quot;%(fullpath)&quot;', ' ')" IgnoreExitCode="true" />
</Target>

eg errors should look like this:

Greeter.ts(7,26): Supplied parameters do not match any signature of call target

any ideas?

Answer 1

Your closing " is misplaced. Should be:

Command=""$(PROGRAMFILES)\\Microsoft SDKs\\TypeScript\\0.8.0.0\\tsc" module amd -target ES5 @(TypeScriptCompile ->'"%(fullpath)"', ' ')" IgnoreExitCode="true" />
