Visual Studio 2015: “tsc.exe” exited with code 1

Question

I was formerly using Visual Studio 2013 for a web TypeScript project. Upgraded to Visual Studio 2015 Update 3, and when building the project, I get

\"tsc.exe\"          


        

Answer 1

You can probably fix this issue by installing TypeScript 2.1.5 using the following link:

• Visual Studio 2015 TypeScript Tools (2.1.5 at the time of writing)

This will also point MSBuild to the proper TypeScript build, which fully supports the --listEmittedFiles command switch (not supported in 1.x, hence the error).

See also this answer and/or this article that I wrote on the topic for further details and references about this issue.

by

I do not get this error now anymore.
