Typescript and Task Outputs

[jamestalmage]

I started with an existing tsconfig that output to ./dist in each project, and configured this task:

# file: ./.moon/tasks/typescript.yml
  typecheck:
    options:
      outputStyle: buffer-only-failure
    command:
      - 'tsc'
      - '--build'
      - '--pretty'
      - '--verbose'
    inputs:
      # Source and test files
      - 'src/**/*'
      - 'test/**/*'
      # Type declarations
      - 'types/**/*'
      # Project configs
      - 'tsconfig.json'
      - 'tsconfig.*.json'
      - '*.ts'
      - '*.js'
      # Root configs (extended from only)
      - '/tsconfig.options.json'
    outputs:
      # Matches `compilerOptions.outDir`
      - 'dist'

I opted to try the routeOutDirToCache, and I'm getting errors that the tasks are no longer producing outputs... Is it implicitly added as an output and cached?

routeOutDirToCache changes compilerOptions.outDir, so that "dist" is no longer valid. We don't implicitly add the output, you would need to do it manually.

For those who find this, the correct output is as follows:

    outputs:
      - '/.moon/cache/types/$projectSource'
