What is the tsconfig equivalent for the cli parameter --generateTrace?

Issue

If you run tsc manually and use the param:

tsc --generateTrace traceDir

you can create a new traceDir directory with paired trace and types files. A recent analysis package from Microsoft typescript-analyze-trace can analyse those files.

Questions:

I wanted to configure generateTrace within tsconfig.json and couldn't find the equivalent property.

Is there a similar configuration option also in an angular app? I guess I can use the same property within angularCompilerOptions (if I knew what it is called)?

Solution

I'm sure you've already seen this

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/compiler-options.html

generateTrace is a flag, not an option so it wouldn't have a parallel in the tsconfig file.

What you could try doing is adding this command to one of your script shorthands, ie npm buildWithTrace : npm build projectName && tsc --generateTrace

But otherwise, this doesn't seem to be possible yet.
