tsconfig.json exclude give TypeError

Hey @All

 

when i add this sample code in a new created project i got an error.

 

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "noImplicitAny": true,
        "removeComments": true,
        "preserveConstEnums": true,
        "outFile": "../../built/local/tsc.js",
        "sourceMap": true
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "wwwroot"
    ]
}

This is the Error:

Iám not sure where is the error. When i only use Files in tsconfig everything works fine. But i need to use exclude and includes for the scatterchart in PowerBI-visuals-core.

@Mcburn,

 

Looking at the code in powerbi-visuals-tools\lib\VisualBuilder.js, files seems to be necessary. And you may also reach out for help at github.

let apiDtsFiles = tsConfig.files.filter(i => i.match(/.api\/.+\/PowerBI-visuals.d.ts$/));

Okay i should create a github issue. Maybe this is a good feature for the new pbiviz tool.

 

I think the line of code you post got an error. 

 

 

Thank you very much for your experiance.

 

Nice Regards
