Fixes the issue where tsgo --all and tsgo --help --all produced no output, while the TypeScript compiler tsc --all displays comprehensive help information showing all compiler options.

Problem

The --all flag is meant to show an expanded version of the help information with all possible compiler options grouped by category. However, the implementation was incomplete:

func PrintHelp(sys System, commandLine *tsoptions.ParsedCommandLine) {
    if commandLine.CompilerOptions().All.IsFalseOrUnknown() {
        printEasyHelp(sys, getOptionsForHelp(commandLine))
    } else {
        // !!! printAllHelp(sys, getOptionsForHelp(commandLine))  // Not implemented
    }
}

Solution

Implemented the printAllHelp function to match the TypeScript source of truth in _submodules/TypeScript/src/compiler/executeCommandLine.ts. The function now:

• Displays the header with version information
• Shows three distinct sections matching TypeScript's implementation:
  1. ALL COMPILER OPTIONS - Lists all 100+ compiler options grouped by their categories (Command-line Options, Modules, JavaScript Support, Type Checking, etc.) with a footer linking to https://aka.ms/tsc
  2. WATCH OPTIONS - Shows watch-related configuration options with an explanatory header about watch mode
  3. BUILD OPTIONS - Displays build-specific options (verbose, dry, force, clean, stopBuildOnErrors) with an explanatory header about build mode
• For each option, displays its name, description, type, and default value

Also fixed a bug in generateSectionOptionsOutput where categories were being output in random order due to Go map iteration. Now maintains category order based on first occurrence in the sorted options list, ensuring consistent output.

Additionally exported OptionsForWatch and OptionsForBuild to match the TypeScript naming convention and make these option lists available for the help display.

Result

Both tsgo --all and tsgo --help --all now produce 646 lines of comprehensive help output showing all TypeScript compiler options, watch options, and build options, matching the behavior of the official TypeScript compiler.

$ tsgo --all
tsc: The TypeScript Compiler - Version 7.0.0-dev

ALL COMPILER OPTIONS

### Command-line Options

--all
Show all compiler options.

--build, -b
Build one or more projects and their dependencies, if out of date
...

WATCH OPTIONS

Including --watch, -w will start watching the current project for the file changes. Once set, you can config watch mode with:

--watchFile
Specify how the TypeScript watch mode works.
...

BUILD OPTIONS

Using --build, -b will make tsc behave more like a build orchestrator than a compiler. This is used to trigger building composite projects which you can learn more about at https://aka.ms/tsc-composite-builds

--verbose, -v
Enable verbose logging.
