Warning: Cannot read property 'astIDString' of undefined Use --force to continue.

I'm getting an a warning when compiling:

Warning: Cannot read property 'astIDString' of undefined Use --force to continue.
I've looked around but I cant seem to get much information on this.

Any idea what it is???

My Grunt File:

grunt.initConfig({
typescript: {
base: {
files: {
'Web/App/Src.js': 'Web/App/Src.ts',
'Web/App/Specs.js': 'Web/App/Specs.ts'
},
options: {
module: 'amd',
target: 'ES3',
sourcemap: false,
declaration: false
}
}
},

Yep - I get the same error when compiling:
Warning: Cannot read property 'astIDString' of undefined Use --force to continue.

am also unable to get any information on this. Any help would be very appreciated.

    typescript: {

        base: { // Export Concatenated JavaScript from Main TS file
            src: '../src/Away3D.ts',
            dest: '../lib/src/Away.js',
            options: {
                target: 'es5'
            }
        }

    },

Please do let me know if you have resolved this ( or found the issue ) .

Thank you !

Here is a link the full Gruntfile.js, and package.json - if it helps:

I have the latest node.js installed. Also - error does not seem to happen if I target es3. Although due to TypeScript errors the script might not reach the end where the error occurs.

Thank you !

@mickdelaney : until this gets fixed - this one worked for us: https://github.com/basarat/grunt-ts

@karimbeyrouti switched over to it also. Cheers
