Referencing TypeScript file includes whole file in output

Question

I have created a new Windows 8 JavaScript Blank app with TypeScript 0.8.1 and Web Essentials installed.

I have added both a file foo.ts and bar.ts

Answer 1

Normally this would only happen if you supplied an --out flag to the compiler:

tsc --out bar.js foo.ts bar.ts

Does this happen on save, or on build? If it happens on save, it is something to do with Web Essentials whereas if it happens on build you should check the source of your project file to see if has an --out flag.
