title: Typescript compile on save not working in cordova .jsproject - 2015
body: <p>I  have Typescript 1.5 beta tools for Visual Studio 2015 installed, and I create a new Cordova Typescript project. The project template includes some .ts files but I cannot get these to compile on save.</p>
  
  <p>Strangely if I create a new project using the Html 5 with Typescript template, the app.ts file does compile on save. It's only in this .jsproj cordova project that it ignores TypeScript compilation. Why?</p>
  
  <p>I see that they use different targets (for the Html 5 project uses Microsoft.Typescript.targets where as in the cordova project is uses Microsoft.TypeScript.MDA.targets:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\ApacheCordovaTools\vs-mda-targets\Microsoft.TypeScript.MDA.targets" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For both cases I verified the files exist in their respective locations. I even tried to use the non MDA target instead; no luck. I also included an empty tsconfig.json file at the root of the project, still no luck.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get Typescript file to compile on save like they do in other project types?</p>
  
  <p>I also have ENABLED Tools > Options > Text Editor> Typescript > Compile files that are not part of the project as well as installed Web Essentials 2015... Nothing works!</p>
