I'm hitting this also.

It prevents me from publishing my web app, which is a showstopper.

Anyone know of a workaround? It's looking like I'll need to uninstall TS 2.0 beta for VS 2015.

@paulvanbrenk can you take a look.

@JudahGabriel or @lg314 can post a _diagnostic_ build log? Does this only reproduce with the NuGet package? Is this an ASP.NET v4 or v5/Core project?

[JudahGabriel]

Does this only reproduce with the NuGet package?

I didn't use the NuGet package; I just downloaded and installed TS 2.0 beta for VS 2015.

can post a diagnostic build log?

Sure. How do I do that? You want the full objTypeScriptCompilerOutput.text file?

Is this an ASP.NET v4 or v5/Core project?

This is a ASP.NET v4 project.

Repro steps are super simple, and take about 60 seconds:

1. Install the TS 2.0 beta for VS 2015.
2. In Visual Studio, File-> New MVC project.
3. Add a TypeScript file to the project.
4. Build -> Publish. Publish anywhere, including the local file system. Voila, the publish will fail.

Figured it out...

As a work around you can add the following to the project file:
<TypeScriptProjectDir>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\</TypeScriptProjectDir> after the <TypeScriptToolsVersion>2.0</TypeScriptToolsVersion> element.

Thanks so much for the workaround, Paul! I'll give it a try.

[paulvanbrenk]

Have a fixed in the VS repo, this will be in the next 2.0 release.

@paulvanbrenk 's suggested fix of <TypeScriptProjectDir>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\</TypeScriptProjectDir> definitely fixed the issue! Any ETA on when this will be released? I downloaded the TS 2.0 beta and still encountered the issue.

TS 2.0 RC (2.0.2) has already been released (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2016/08/30/announcing-typescript-2-0-rc/).
