output js file is created even when there is error in ts

[palamccc]

• Typescript generates js file even when there is error in typescript source.
• typescript-require skips compilation when js file already exists.
• Due to above conflicting behaviour, i am getting following problem
  • I tried to run typescript file with error, i got fatal error as expected. all good.
  • I tried to run same typescript file as such, without making any changes. It works!!! - compilation is skipped because .js file already exists for .ts file.

Yeah, I got:

node_modules/typescript-require/typings/lib.d.ts(8933,5): error TS2411: Property 'length' of type 'number' is not assignable to string index type 'Object'.
Fatal Error. Unable to compile TypeScript file. Exiting.
make: *** [runlocal] Error 2

But still under tmp/tsreq/ I can see the file. And, yes second run works.

Perhaps the js file should be removed from temp if an error occurred?
