"processFilesForTarget" function gets to process .ts files from node_modules

[iperevozchikov]

Hi, "angular-compilers" when compiling project processing .ts files from node_modules. It seems that not correct.

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Get bare project from examples directory
2. Add new package, which contains .ts file, for example @types/meteor-collection-hooks
3. Start project via meteor npm start
4. See errors

> @ start /home/iperevozchikov/Sources/test-pro
> meteor run

[[[[[ ~/Sources/test-pro ]]]]]

My environment:

1. meteor 1.6.1
2. angular-compilers@0.3.x

I found that "processFilesForTarget" function exclude only angular based dependencies like rxjs, angular, tsickle, etc.
Also was ignored section "exclude" from tsconfig and it's strange undocumented behavior.
Because package would need to integrate into the typescript way of compilation, but don't ignore.

Yes, this is expected behavior which is not well-documented as you said. We added this feature to solve some problems with ES2015 modules which is not bundled for CommonJS, but it causes an ignorance for field exclude in tsconfig.json. This is about external dependency meteor-typescript that we will investigate a solution for this. This post will be updated. Stay tuned!

Thank you for your collaboration!

Hi @ardatan . I composed the list of errors in my app and it was be next:

1. node_modules/ng2-material-dropdown/demo/home/components/dropdown-container.ts;
2. node_modules/meteor-typings/1.4/test/test.ts;
3. node_modules/ng-lazyload-image/src/lazyload-image.module.ngfactory.ts;
4. node_modules/sift/test.ts.

Errors above were perfect be grouped into 3 categories:

1. test
2. demo
3. src

If the src category does not look unambiguous, because it may have really important information for your app.
But others categories may be excluded without any problem for your app by rules based on detecting demo and tests contents.
Also, would be great to enable some custom section in tsconfig.json for the user-based excluding rules, for example

angularTypescript: { 
    exclude: [ 
        "node_modules/**/*/test.ts" 
    ] 
}
