Typescript 1.5

Things to do. An ever updating list:

• Watch the filesGlob | files for changes. We only watch "changes" not "addition / deletion" for now.

Yes, there is no version of TypeScript available anywhere that has the necessary patches to make ES6 import/export work with declarations (microsoft/TypeScript#2139), so what’s committed to my branch is a custom build with that patch applied. microsoft/TypeScript#2197 was also necessary in that build but has since been merged, so microsoft/TypeScript#2139 is the only one I’m waiting for until getting a new “official” build. Watch microsoft/TypeScript#2242 for updates!

^ the reply was for this diff from npm install

@csnover alright. So I will not run npm install ❤️ . I'll be doing new fixes in this branch just because I can't live without let anymore.

[basarat]

@csnover I suspect the reference bugs you are getting a specific to 1.5. Cannot do build ctrl+shift+b anymore. Fails with :

[basarat]

We are not doing fs checks for references. Only doing it for imports. I'll fix it tomorrow. Off for now.

@csnover @park9140 I am feeling that having stuff that is not referenced from files in tsconfig.json is always going to result in tricky error cases : #180 and #45

I don't see a graceful way of handling this. Any ideas?

[basarat]

@csnover sorry #180 was fixable ❤️

Still don't have an answer for what to do with #45 though.

[basarat]

UPDATE: bug has been fixed

A bug for me :
this should not happen.

@basarat, I was planning on using https://www.npmjs.com/package/vinyl-fs in order to simplify this scenario. You can populate a vinyl stream with the glob patterns and it will keep itself updated when you use the watch methodology.

[basarat]

Having a quick look I think it's meaning of glob is different : order is significant. I am sure the gulp users are used to it but that is not what we promised with our filesGlob. Our is that it must match all patterns.

I am leaning towards https://www.npmjs.com/package/gaze simply watching our glob and only updating our text if the file isn't open in the editor (which the child can query)

[basarat]

I can definitely feel the speed up ❤️

[basarat]

@csnover is it okay if I merge and publish this a new major version?

There are lot of good performance fixes here that I'd like to get in the hands of everyone. Its been working like a charm for me.

[csnover]

TS team was hoping to have microsoft/TypeScript#2139 landed by end of the week so can we maybe wait until Monday to see if that happens? Otherwise I don’t think I have any major objections.

[basarat]

Otherwise I don’t think I have any major objections.

Thanks I'll wait till monday ❤️

[basarat]

I've been using this over the weekend as well as on Monday. Its much better than what we have on master so publishing as a major version.

[basarat]

I have merged into master. That's a good thing as I can ask people to just use master for the latest fixes. However I'm not going to publish till we have a valid package.json.
