Why is ts-node not piling and executing typescript file? It is used in terminal like "ts-node scriptfile" It just returns a blank line. What is wrong? Thanks for the help.

I'm assuming you are using this so you should run
ts-node <script>– EDToaster Commented Jun 27, 2019 at 22:52 - That is exactly the way I'm using ts-node <script> – Pyjs Commented Jun 27, 2019 at 23:10
- Do you have a tsconfig file setup? – LJD Commented Jun 27, 2019 at 23:13
- No tsconfig file, where and how do I set it up? But when input files are specified on the mand line, tsconfig.json files are ignored anyway. – Pyjs Commented Jun 27, 2019 at 23:18

Reset to default 8ts-node is a typescript executor, not a piler. If you run npx ts-node script.ts it will execute as typescript, without piling.
To generate a piled js file, try tsc script.ts.
