Example errors out with Typescript no output

[jschaf]

I'm having a ton of trouble trying to get the example to run. I cloned the repository and ran npm install and tsd install. After running npm start, I get the following output:

If I browse to localhost:3000, I get index.html but static/app.js seems has the same contents as index.html so Chrome fails to parse the the javascript file.

Did I miss a step?

If I remove the noEmit: true from tsconfig.json, the example works. Is noEmit supposed to be set to true? It looks like it gets loaded with webpack-dev-middleware.

That's interesting. I think it's because of the new version of TS. Maybe the thing to do is to just remove that line from tsconfig.json.

UPDATE: Somehow, by cleaning the output js file, the build went through. Take the following as if it was a bad dream.

While noEmit: true gets rid of the error for the dev server, the build couldn't still go through. The console output follows:

The error reminds the one with the dev server.
