I can access a private variable but don't get an typescript error

[kevincam3]

TypeScript Version: 2.4.2

Code
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';

@component({
selector: 'app-servers',
template: './servers.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./servers.component.css']
})
export class ServersComponent implements OnInit {
private allowNewServer: boolean = false;

constructor() {
    setTimeout(() => {
        this.allowNewServer = true;
    }, 2000);
}

ngOnInit() {
}

}

// A *self-contained* demonstration of the problem follows...
See [screenshot](url

)
// Test this by running `tsc` on the command-line, rather than through another build tool such as Gulp, Webpack, etc.

Expected behavior:
Typescript Error message that I'm using a private variable

Actual behavior:
No Warning

The TypeScript compiler doesn't read HTML files, so it has no idea that you're accessing a private property.

Let me present the problem differently. I moved the code into the .ts file so you can see that it flags the error with the variable by itself and it doesn't when I use not. See both screenshots

From TypeScript's perspective, that's just part of a string literal. You might be using some Angular tool that gives you additional errors.

ok, I'll reach out to the Angular team. Thanks
