running grunt on atom-typescript-> JSX-related issues and more

[laurelnaiad]

I'm trying to build atom-typescript locally.

Did I miss some steps in configuring my environment or the local repo?

Things I did:

• npm install
• npm install grunt (why wasn't this in the package.json as a dev dependency?)
• npm install grunt-ts (ditto?)

$ grunt
Running "ts:dev" (ts) task
Watching all TypeScript / Html files under : lib

npm install grunt (why wasn't this in the package.json as a dev dependency?)

Because it broke atom package installer at some point : #600

Don't use grunt. Sadly you need atom-typescript to build atom-typescript as is documented here : https://github.com/TypeStrong/atom-typescript/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#workflow Probably should be more up in the guide :-/ I'll move it around and then close this issue 🌹
