does this ignores my tsconfig.json file? about tsc-watch HOT 7 CLOSED

I bumped into the same problem. However it was a config issue. Following the readme I did:

    "start": "tsc-watch server.ts --onSuccess \"node ./lib/server.js\" --onFailure \"echo Beep! Compilation Failed\"",

But I should not have specified the file server.ts. I think if you specify the file, tsc will not think of it as a project and thus not use tsconfig.json. So what I wanted was this:

    "start": "tsc-watch --onSuccess \"node ./lib/server.js\" --onFailure \"echo Beep! Compilation Failed\"",

Just removed the filename and it started to work :-).

I just tried to reproduce this issue and I do get errors when using tsc-watch
Please provide a minimal example that demonstrates this issue.

Bump.

Can anyone approve of this issue?

It seems like it's working now somehow. I'm not really sure if it was on my end but after running:

ts-watch --onSuccess 'node ./server.js'

it does use my config.

Sorry for the issue.

can this please be noted in the README?? It took me half a day to figure out why my tsconfig.json wasn't used :)

Or even better, maybe tsc-watch can still look for a tsconfig.json if the 'src' (first param) is given?
