Don't Show TSC Version Warning When Editing JS Files

[sqnkov]

• VSCode Version: 1.8.1 (November Recovery)
• OS Version: Windows 10 Home

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Write javascript (not TS, just vanilla JS) for a random period of time.
2. Save your work occasionally.
3. Watch the error info with amusement.

I have been coding for like a full workday now and I just got an error stating the following:

And when I click the more information link, it routes me to this section of the TypeScript information:

I went on and updated my typescript version using npm install -g typescript@latest , I presume this the issue.

@sqnkov you have a globally installed version of typescript that doesn't match the typescript version that we bundle with VS Code. VS Code ships with the last official version of VS Code therefore npm install typescript would have been sufficient.

Having said this, the error message is confusing when you are editing a .js file where you typically do not use tsc and do not have TypeScript on our mind.

We should not show this warning when editing .js files.

@egamma Thanks for the clarification. I've updated the title of the issue to track not showing version warnings when editing js files.

I've scoped this check to only run when editing TypeScript files. Should be in the next insiders build
