Warning: Cannot find parent tsconfig.json

Question

I would like to fix the warning:

Warning: Cannot find parent tsconfig.json

in the TypeScript Errors tab in Intell

Answer 1

problem is specific to TypeScript version being used (2.1.x); it is fixed in 2016.3. 2 EAP

Note: this answer refers to the issue specific to IDE (WebStorm, PHPStorm, IDEA) version 2016.3: it didn't work well with TypeScript 2.1.x, showing false warnings. If you see similar message (Cannot find parent tsconfig.json) in other IDE versions, it is likely a problem with your configuration: such messages are displayed if currently edited .ts file is not included in any tsconfig.json.
