Typescript cannot use tsconfig.json files

[osdiab]

Running tsc against a specific file causes project flags to be ignored, so that can't be added as an argument; but tsconfig.json would be useful to draw from because it contains all the flags relevant to a particular project. Without it i almost always get spurious compiler errors by running tsc syntax checking.

Maybe this is an issue with tsc itself? I don't see a good way to use tsc for the configuration without running checks on all the files in a project.

It certainly isn't an issue with syntastic. Syntastic runs tsc with the arguments you specify.

To tell syntastic not to add a filename, set syntastic_typescript_tsc_fname to an empty string:

let g:syntastic_typescript_tsc_fname = ''

To tell syntastic to show the tsc command line, enable debugging:

let g:syntastic_debug = 1

-- then run the checker and run :mes to see the debug logs.

This does works. However once set it no longer displays the error marker in the editor. If I do :Errors then only I can see the actual errors. Would be great if you could suggest on that.

@adikari Please open a new issue. Explain what you did, what did you expect to happen, and what happened instead.
