exclude subdirectories in tsconfig.json
Solution 1
I just installed and tested the latest version of TypeScript for Visual Studio 2015 (1.8.6 at the moment), and I can confirm that this problem has been fixed in the latest release.

[Edit] Be sure to also do an npm update -g typescript
Solution 2
Try with:
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
"public",
"typings/browser.d.ts",
"typings/browser/**"
]
Solution 3
Looks like this is a problem with typescript being unable to exclude paths/patterns that belong to deeper dir structure. Its still a problem with "typescript@^3.4.5".
To fix this I started cleaning my Dist dir with "rimraf dist" before every test run.
"test:unit": "npm run clean && stencil test --spec --snapshot",
I know its a hack, but works.

I have installed TypeScript 1.8.2, and using Visual Studio 2015. I have a simple project where I have problems excluding folders from the tsconfig.json file. The problem is I would like to exclude the file typings/browser.d.ts and the folder typings/browser. But this is not the case?
I have no problems excluding a subfolder, but not a sub-subfolder?
[NOTE] I just realized the problem is only when I build from Visual Studio! If i build with tsc from the command line, there's no problem. Could I have another version of TypeScript in Visual Studio? How can I check this?
This is my tsconfig.json:
{ "compilerOptions": { "target": "es5", "module": "commonjs", "moduleResolution": "node", "sourceMap": true, "emitDecoratorMetadata": true, "experimentalDecorators": true, "removeComments": false, "noImplicitAny": false }, "exclude": [ "node_modules", "public", "typings/browser", "typings/browser.d.ts" ] }
I have a bigger project, where I use jspm and need to exclude the jspm package folder, which is located as a subfolder to public.

aruno about 8 yearsthis doesn't seem to take effect in
VS 2015 Update 2 RC
. Even though it has installed it keeps showing 1.8.2 from within Extensions manager. I'm hoping Update 2 RTM (which is now available) will fix this -
