tide does not pick up .d.ts file in tsconfig.json

[NhanHo]

It seems like when I specify a .d.ts file in tsconfig.json (with "files" setting), tide doesn't pick it up and will complain (Cannot find name ...), even though tsc will work fine with such setting.

Right now, I have to manually add /// <reference path="" /> in every individual files to make it work, but it's very inconvenient, and it seems to me it will be an issue with larger project with multiple .d.ts files in the source. Is it a bug or expected behaviour by tide?

Taking a look over to other editors, I think all of them are supposedly picking up definitions in .d.ts given that is specified in "files" of tsconfig.json

Tide just calls into the TypeScript tooling, so it should have the same
behavior as running "tsc".
I have a d.ts working in my project.

I think you should try to make a minimal example of the problem and submit
it here to diagnose it.

File src/game-manager.ts

Game;

File src/reference.d.ts

declare var Game: number;

File tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "target": "es5",
    "noResolve": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false
  },

    "files": ["./src/reference.d.ts","./src/game-manager.ts"],

  "bundles": {
    "main": {
      "files": [
        "./src/game-manager.ts"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Emacs with tide will complain "Cannot find game 'Game'". On the other hand, running tsc --outDir dist will work fine.

I just added a .d.ts file in the example folder 9ffcab1. It works without a problem. I am not sure your tsconfig.json file is valid (There is a / at the end of the line that has noImplicityAny). Have a look at the log file and check if something else is wrong.

[NhanHo]

The extra "/" was something I accidentally added after copy and paste, it's not relevant to the issue. And I'm sorry for the bad example, it's indeed working (I did something slightly different when trying to reproduce the issue)

After looking at the log file, I think I found the reason. It happens when I open a new file in the project but have yet to add it to the files list in tsconfig.json. I'm using a gulp plugin that allows me to use filesGlob syntax (ie. src/**/*.ts, not yet supported by tsc proper), my files are not actually listed explicitly in files and causes problem with tide.

Is there any way we could support a wildcard/ filesGlob syntax in tide, or would it be better to just wait for official typescript support?

[ananthakumaran]

I think glob support is already available in TypeScript nightly build microsoft/TypeScript#8841. I haven't tested it, but it might work in typescript-2.0 branch. see #38.

I am having a similar issue. Tide gives me errors about missing modules that tsc does not. My tsconfig.json looks like this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "jsx": "react",
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "preserveConstEnums": true,
    "outDir": "built",
    "rootDir": "src",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true
  },
  "filesGlob": [
    "typings/**/*.d.ts",
    "src/**/*.ts",
    "src/**/*.tsx",
    "!./node_modules/**/*.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "typings/browser.d.ts",
    "typings/browser",
    "node_modules"
  ]
}

I am using tsc version 2.0.0-dev.20160706. I.e. the most recent version from git. However on lines like this:

import * as Foo from "foo";

Tide gives me flycheck errors that I do not get when I manually run tsc. This affects errors in the rest of the file as well since the module typings are not loaded probably.

@paldepind Just updated the tsserver to the latest version. Can you update tide and see if it solves the problem?

[paldepind]

I just updated from MELPA. I'm not seeing a difference.
