ac-typescript not fully working on windows 7

[user1911431]

I'm using Emacs 24.3 and ac-typescript is only partially working.

What works:

ac-typescript is able to figure out the type signatures of variables and functions (for example if you press "." after a name it will show all function names with their type-signatures and variable names along with the variable's type.

What does not work:

ac-typescript is not able to detect errors in usage of functions or any errors in source files whatsoever.

I am getting the following messages in the typescript-isense buffer:

--------start of buffer-----------

Thanks to use ac-typescript, but Sorry to my poor english as follow I'm written. :(

I was tested it on linux only, I was seen this problem first time.
Please tell me your environmet when this problem was occured. Do you use Cygwin, or Node.js installed via MSI?
And version of TypeScript you using, because ac-typescript is targeted only version 0.8.2 of TypeScript is newest version I made this.

Using the Emacs from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/. I am not using cygwin at all. Node was installed via MSI.

This screen capture has more information about my configuration:

I changed the typescript version to 0.8.2 in npm, but there was not any difference. For some reason, the type signatures also seemed to disappear when I tried using ac-typescript. My computer environment is a mess (typescript is installed to work with Visual Studio, etc), I am going to try to use this on Linux.

Is there a specific distribution of Linux that you use? What version of Emacs do you use on Linux? I have a very limited knowledge of Linux :) but I will try to get this working on Linux (in a virtual machine) and then later try to get this working on Windows 7 again.

[derui]

Distibution of Linux I using is Gentoo Linux, and version of Emacs using on it is 24.2(self compiled).
However, I think ac-typescript is able to figure out on Ubuntu or other distribution of Linux.

I'm going to try to figure out ac-typescript on Windows7 with your configuration above sometime soon, however I have no time other than weekend, sorry :(

[user1911431]

I tried to get it to work on linux, with no success. I tried the following configurations (I do not recommend ubuntu, it remaps the alt key for some kind of search thing (which you have to fix, plus it downloads all this extra stuff during installation which is a waste of time))

emacs 24.3 (https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs), ubuntu 12.04.2 desktop 64-bit, node v0.10.15 (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16302436/install-nodejs-on-ubuntu-12-10), tsc 0.8.2/0.8.3/0.9.0.1

I kept on getting the following errors on the typescript-isense buffer

SockJS v0.3.5 bound to ""

[user1911431]

I also tried using your .emacs.d files as they looked like they had recent edits to ac-typescript files with the same configurations as above (deleting .emacs.d folder and restarting emacs). I had a lot of problems trying to use emacs with your configuration files (evil mode, color scheme not working (white text on white background), command line tools missing, Ubuntu intercepting alt-key, . . .)

I kept on getting error like this in the typescript-isense buffer

To use ac-typescript I used the following commands "M-x ac-typescript/start-server" and then "M-x ac-typescript/ac-enable" on typescript file buffers. I recommend trying to get ac-typescript to work on a bare version of emacs by running "emacs -q" on Windows 7, because if you can get it to work there, it will work everywhere (except maybe on Ubuntu . . .).

I found a version of autocompletion for typescript in the sublime text editor while searching online that is really good (but I don't use sublime) in terms of what it can do:

Does ac-typescript for emacs have similar functionality when it is working?

Thanks to try something to use ac-typescript... I'm going to make time to try to figure out you recommended. Please wait few days.

Unn... No, it doesn't, sorry :(. Current version of ac-typescript is very very experimental product.
Current problem of ac-typescript is poor performance because it is using websocket to communicate language service server. So I want to improve performance first, second is more stability.

sublime-typescript is a really good software I think too, and I gave some hint for ac-typescrpt.
