What could be causing the issue of typescript not compiling in another individual's VS2013 setup?

Our team is experiencing an issue with a VS2013 project that utilizes TypeScript. The project compiles without any problems on my machine, but when another developer opens the exact same project and attempts to build it, they encounter numerous error messages related to TypeScript:

Surprisingly, there are no issues at all when compiling the project on my machine. It seems like everything runs smoothly.

All of us have the latest version of TypeScript for Visual Studio 2013 installed, which is version 1.8.3. Any thoughts on what could be causing this discrepancy?

Answer №1

From my understanding, Visual Studio (VS) and TypeScript (TS) installed via NPM are separate entities. When you install TS using NPM, there is no tsc.exe file included. VS specifically targets the tsc.exe that is installed by TS for its extension, which typically resides in the c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\X.Y directory. You may have multiple folders within this TypeScript directory, so it's important to set the TypeScriptToolsVersion to the highest version available. For example, if you have "1.0", "1.7", and "1.8" folders, setting TypeScriptToolsVersion = 1.8 will ensure you are using the latest version. Keep in mind that although running tsc -v inside the folder may show a specific version (e.g., 1.8.3), when running tsc outside of that folder, it may use the PATH variable pointing to the TS version installed by NPM (e.g., 1.8.10). It seems that the TS version used by VS may lag slightly behind the one you install via NPM. Overall, it appears that VS is only aware of the TS versions installed by TS for VS extensions, not those installed by NPM.
