Vscode-vsce: vscode:prepublish: `tsc -p ./` keep throwing Exit status 2

Created on 19 Apr 2017 · 10Comments · Source: microsoft/vscode-vsce

I just can't publish my extension anymore.
It just worked fine before I ran npm update.

Now it says all day, no matter what:

    npm ERR! Darwin 15.6.0
    npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "run" "vscode:prepublish"
    npm ERR! node v6.10.2

    npm ERR! 
    npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] vscode:prepublish script 'tsc -p ./'.
    npm ERR! Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed.

See dependencies in package.json to get the full picture. I tried with countless node versions (6.x to 7.x), no luck with any.

Please help, I have valuable features to publish for user all around stuck into my MacBook. 😞

Also it useful to execute only npm run vscode:prepublish and fix warnings and errors. Then execute needed command.
Unfortunately vsce does not show scripts's warnings and errors.

Manually (!) deleting entire node_modules content, then reinstall everything (with npm install) simply solved the issue.

Could you help to share more details about the solution? The node_module and package-lock,json are generated again after running 'npm install', then it goes into the loop.

Hi! I am having the same issue as both of the people above, however the suggested solution is not working. Is there any other issues that could be causing this?

I have attached my full log below:

vsce package fails for me with the exact same error as for @jamiesarahg. When I delete node_modules and package-lock.json and run npm install, vsce package fails with another error:

Executing prepublish script 'npm run vscode:prepublish'...
Error: stdout maxBuffer exceeded

EDIT: When I ran tsc -p ./ manually, it showed some compilation errors in my code. After fixing those, the vsce package command finally succeeded. The "stdout maxBuffer exceeded" error message was because of another issue with my code where tsc would output lots of error messages and fill some internal buffer.

i was having some warnings in my TS file. after removing these it worked.

The command will work if you remove the unused imports from typescript files.
