Support for tsconfig.json exclude about ts-loader HOT 6 CLOSED

Thanks for the gist, that's always helpful. I'll take a look and get back to you.

On a quick glance I'm wondering if the slash in "exclude": ["node_modules/"] is affecting it? That's purely a guess and I haven't tried it but might be worth a quick shot to remove the slash.

The exclude option is already supported since that functionality is delegated to TypeScript. Keep in mind that the exclude option only functions if you are not specifying a files property and it only affects the initial list of files to load. It does not "ban" files from being included in the program through other means like import or tripleslash references. I just ran some quick tests and the loader seems to work identically to tsc. If you have a scenario where it doesn't please let me know.

If I get this right, this plugin just goes for the "files" option in the tsconfig, else loads all files (regardless of webpack configuration).

Not quite. The webpack entry points are definitely where things "start". However, any additional files specified in tsconfig.json are also loaded into the program. Note that this does not mean they'll necessarily be emitted since webpack controls what is and isn't emitted based on the dependency tree starting at the entry point. In other words you could specifically include some file, say b.ts, using tsconfig.json but if your entry point nor any of its dependencies actually import it then it won't be emitted into the webpack bundle.

Going to close this since I don't think there's an actual issue but feel free to reopen if that's incorrect.

I've created an Gist with this problem: https://gist.github.com/sateffen/bfbafa46b181098c9eee

Every grunt build or grunt test will complain about files in the node_modules folder, even though I excluded it in tsconfig.json and the configurations.

Maybe I'm doing something else wrong, but when putting only the files to include in the tsconfig.json, everything works fine.

Do you have any idea?

Wow, this actually works.

So my problem all the time was, that the slash was there. Without slash everything works fine. That is good to know.

Ok, so the problem was me, not your loader. Big thanks, and sorry for the report!

No worries, these things happen 😄
