command line option that works on tsc fails on tsgo

[lukpsaxo]

we use

tsc --build path/to/tsconfig.json

and with tsgo I get:

error TS6369: Option '--build' must be the first command line argument.

If I use tsgo -p path/to/tsconfig.json it works.

I am using yarn workspaces to run the command, but I logged argv:

// tsgo.js
    console.log('argv:')
    console.log(process.argv.slice(2))
    execFileSync(exe, process.argv.slice(2), { stdio: "inherit" });

-->

[ '--build', './tsconfig.json' ]

seems like not ready?

could be the reason. happy to close it. We don't actually build - we disable emit in the config file, but it could be because its not done yet, I thought the announcement was that it supports some emit.

It's not ready, no. It's being worked on. See also #909; we should probably produce a better message.

#926 will make the problem clearer.

thanks! closing issue to reduce noise.
