Please describe your issue:

Hello,

In adapting one of my projects to use electron-forge I noticed I wasn’t receiving compile errors when I should be. Exploring the issue I found that projects created with the react-typescript template do not throw any kind of compile errors for typescript code through electron-forge start or electron-forge lint or even electron-forge make.

I’ve got a test repository here that shows this in action. This repository was created using

electron-forge init --template=react-typescript

I’ve deliberately introduced compile errors by adding the line

const four:number = 'four';

to both the src/app.tsx and src/index.ts. These errors are never reported.

I’ve posted this issue here because I’m unfamiliar with the project and don’t know if this is relevant to the forge cli tool or its react-typescript template. If this needs to be resubmitted elsewhere please let me know.

@paarthenon You can use tslint with the --type-check option enabled 👍

@paarthenon I’d just set up your lint task to run tsc on the whole project
