ts-loader does work when ts-config noEmit is set to true in typescript 1.8.2

[afaayerhan]

{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "ES6",
"jsx": "preserve",
"noEmit": true,
"watch": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules"
]
}
this is the current tsconfig I am using with 1.8.2 that is working. but after changing noEmit to false it works. but as you know I don't want to emit anything as I use IDE like webstorm .... that does compilation to correctly understand errors in typescript.

You can override the options just for ts-loader. In your webpack config, put something like:

  ts: {
    compilerOptions: {
      noEmit: false
    }
  }

@jbrantly thanks already did that and solved my problems. would be closing this issue. but maybe noEmit: false should be coded in by default.

Opened an issue for changing the default: #719
