Duplicate Function Implementation

Question

I have one file, app.ts under my scripts folder, that gets copied to wwwroot/scripts by a gulp task. After the gulp task runs, I now also have a wwwroot/scripts/app.ts file, in which the sole function is red-underlined as duplicate. Is this normal, or is my gulp task, below, declared incorrectly?

var paths = {
    scripts: ["scripts/**/*.js", "scripts/**/*.ts", "scripts/**/*.map"]
};

gulp.task("default", function() {
    gulp.src(paths.scripts).pipe(gulp.dest("wwwroot/scripts"));
});

I see the raw app.ts file, from the root scripts folder also gets built into *.js and *.js.map files. Could this have something to do with the 'false positive' duplicate function?

Answer 1

Don't copy the .ts files. You only need the compiled .js files in the scripts directory (unless you are doing something unusual with TypeScript source from there).

Then in your tsconfig.json file, add an exclude directive to exclude wwwroot/scripts/**/* in your IDE.
