Odd warning saying "Cannot compile modules unless '--module' flag is provided"

[ntilwalli]

I am seeing an odd warning in Sublime 3, Cannot compile modules unless the '--module' flag is provided.

But this warning goes away if I simple import a local external module which in this case has a trivial export.

But my tsconfig.json does include the module compiler option.

It's odd that if I just add a second import the initial import warning goes away. Is this expected?

I'm on a Mac (Yosemite 10.10.3), using the the latest version of typescript-sublime-plugin (v0.1.5, installed from Package Control)

@ntilwalli To get rid of the error in line 2, you can try including main.js and aurelia-framework.d.ts in the 'files' options in tsconfig.json. Something like this:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        // ...
    },
    "files": [
        "path to main.ts",
        "path to aurelia-framework declaration"
    ]
}

For more details, there is an example in #213.

It looks like a bug when the error goes away after adding line 3. Unfortunately I am not able to repro. It would be great if you can share your project.

@hoanhtien Thanks! I'll update the files property in my tsconfig.json for now, but it would be nice if I didn't need to. I've uploaded the files to reproduce the issue. They're at:

After updating my configuration file to include the "files" property, the warning does not go away. My tsconfig.json looks like this:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "system",
        "sourceMap": "true",
        "noImplicitAny": "true"
    },
    "files": [
        "./src/ts/main.ts",
        "./typings/aurelia-framework/aurelia-framework.d.ts"
    ]
}

@ntilwalli I get this errors when compiling your project using command line:

D:\sublimebug-master\sublimebug-master\src\ts>tsc
error TS5024: Compiler option 'sourceMap' requires a value of type boolean.
error TS5024: Compiler option 'noImplicitAny' requires a value of type boolean.

Your tsconfig.json should be changed to:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "system",
        "sourceMap": true,
        "noImplicitAny": true
    },
    "files": [
        "./src/ts/main.ts",
        "./typings/aurelia-framework/aurelia-framework.d.ts"
    ]
}

After this change, you should no longer see the underline error. Please note that after modifying tsconfig.json, you need to restart Sublime for the change to take effect (Issue #193: Changes to tsconfig.json are not picked up until I restart Sublime).

The plug-in is working under the assumption that the tsconfig.json file is correct. I will be looking to see if there is a way to notify users about errors in tsconfig.json file.

Thanks. That fixed it.
