Syntastic: SyntasticInfo shows Xml for ts

[stevepond]

Trying to use tslint checkers "tsc" or "tslint" and getting this report on SyntasticInfo for any *.ts file.

Syntastic version: 3.7.0-67 (Vim 704, Darwin)
Info for filetype: xml
Global mode: active
Filetype xml is active
The current file will be checked automatically
Available checkers: plutil xmllint
Currently enabled checker: xmllint

My config

let g:syntastic_javascript_checkers = ['jshint']
let g:syntastic_typescript_checkers = ['tslint', 'tsc']
let g:syntastic_check_on_open=1
let g:syntastic_enable_signs=1

What am I missing? Thanks.

Syntastic decides what checkers to run based on Vim filetypes (see :h filetype). Vim doesn't automatically detect TypeScript files, so you need some other Vim plugin to do that for you. From a quick search, an example of such plugin is typescript-vim.

I've the same problem, and I've typescript-vim installed.

@janbaer If it is "the same problem", then you're complaining to the wrong forum. I suppose we'll never know. :)

In the meantime I found a solution:

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.ts setlocal filetype=typescript

@janbaer Then please post a PR to typescript-vim. It has nothing to do with syntastic.
