Silently compile even with errors

[yjukaku]

We are currently using the .ts extension for some of our files that are plain javascript. The tsc command will output a .js file regardless of if there are Typescript errors in the .ts file. Is there any way to enable this behavior for this gem?

Hello @yjukaku,
Not clear what you want. Could you provide an example of file with error, tsc command with appropriate params and what you expect to see after command executing?

Save this file with the ts extension in the Rails javascripts folder.

// app/assets/javascripts/plain.js
$(function(){
  console.log("I'm a plain javascript file, using jquery, but saved with a .ts extension");
});

Error:

Typescript error in file 'test/app/assets/javascripts/plain.ts':
/var/folders/36/clbwldqs6039l61kp6q1jxkh0000gn/T/typescript-node20151019-785-1pc7706.ts(1,1): error TS2304: Cannot find name '$'.

Obviously the issue is that we aren't declaring/importing the $. But if I ran this using tsc plain.ts, it would show the same error BUT still output the javascript file plain.js. Basically, I want the option for the typescript-rails gem to still render the page but just log the error messages. I understand why this isn't the default behavior but I think an option is necessary for some cases.

Sorry. It is not possible. If you want to use plain js use it in .js-files and don't try to compile via tsc.
Or you can fork it and create your own implementation.
