I am having trouble with the TypeScript compiler options not being detected in Visual Studio 2015

After creating an ASP.NET 5 Empty Website project in Visual Studio 2015, I set up a tsconfig.json file with the following settings:

{
      "compilerOptions": {
        "noImplicitAny": false,
        "noEmitOnError": true,
        "removeComments": false,
        "sourceMap": true,
        "target": "es5",
        "module": "system",
        "moduleResolution": "node",
        "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
        "experimentalDecorators": true
      },
      "exclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "wwwroot"
      ]
}

In addition, my package.json is configured as follows:

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "name": "ASP.NET",
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {
    "tsc": "tsc",
    "tsc:w": "tsc -w",
    "lite": "lite-server",
    "start": "concurrent \"npm run tsc:w\" \"npm run lite\" "
  },
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "angular2": "2.0.0-beta.0",
    "systemjs": "0.19.6",
    "es6-promise": "^3.0.2",
    "es6-shim": "^0.33.3",
    "reflect-metadata": "0.1.2",
    "rxjs": "5.0.0-beta.0",
    "zone.js": "0.5.10"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "gulp": "3.8.11",
    "gulp-concat": "2.5.2",
    "gulp-cssmin": "0.1.7",
    "gulp-uglify": "1.2.0",
    "rimraf": "2.2.8"

  }
}

However, when attempting to compile a test page, the following errors are encountered:

Error   TS1219  Experimental support for decorators is a feature that is subject to change in a future release. Specify '--experimentalDecorators' to remove this warning.  
Error   TS2307  Cannot find module 'angular2/core'. 
Error   TS1148  Cannot compile modules unless the '--module' flag is provided.

Despite being properly configured in tsconfig.json, these errors persist. Any ideas on how to resolve them?

Answer №1

Guided by Anuraj, I finally found the solution. Strangely enough, the documentation initially pointed me to place it in the /scripts folder, but that approach proved fruitless.

Ultimately, moving the tsconfig.json file into the wwwroot directory did the trick. This workaround was effective for the specific versions I was working with at that time.
