Error: type xyz.ts not found

Today I installed the latest version via npm install typescript-json-schema -g.

To test things out, I saved the following file as xyz.ts:

export interface Foo {
  bar: "Baz";
}

I then ran typescript-json-schema xyz.ts *.

It yielded the following error:

/usr/lib/node_modules/typescript-json-schema/typescript-json-schema.js:667
            throw new Error("type " + symbolName + " not found");
            ^

Although I was not able to get * to work locally, I was able to get it to work via typescript-json-schema xyz.ts Foo.

Here is my tsconfig.json for reference:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "strict": false,
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  }
}

Thanks for maintaining this very useful library!

EDITS: Typo in filename from previous attempts, updated title to reflect more isolated case.

For anyone else that may stumble across this, you should place the asterisk inside quotes:

$ typescript-json-schema tsconfig.json "*"

Without the quotes the shell recognizes it as a wildcard and passes each file in the $PWD as an additional argument. Resulting in something like:

$ typescript-json-schema tsconfig.json somefile.js someotherfile.js anotherfile.js

I don’t think this is a bug with the software.
