'gulp watch' not recompiling .ts files on Windows

[psychowood]

As per issue subject, the watch task does not seems to recognize TypeScript changes correctly in Windows. Tested on multiple Windows installations (Win7,Win8,Win10). Project was scaffolded yesterday from v1.0.0.

The console seems to be correct (and in line to what is logged on my Mac, which recompiles correctly, tho).

The same problem in my environment.
#893 may be a temporary solution, but not a fundamental one.
I think this may be a problem caused by webpack or awesome-typescript-loader...

(somewhat shameless plug) @jasteph reported ts-loader worked, might be worth a try (and help narrow down where the problem lies)

s-panferov/awesome-typescript-loader#72 works for me. Try it.

Sorry, I don't have a Win env to test that kind of issues. Hope someone of the community could help.

Changing package.json to make "awesome-typescript-loader": "~0.15.6" fixes the problem.
Then I had to add an excludes config to the tsconfig.json file:

{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "commonjs"
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
"bower_components"
]
}

@craigsh is right，thanks very much。

That should be fixed with the switch on ts-loader in the last release: https://github.com/Swiip/generator-gulp-angular/releases/tag/v1.1.0
