node.js - TypeScript: tsc.exe --execute: Error cannot find module -

i have following directory setup:

/app/ioc.ts /tests/test.ts 

i'm in tests directory. contents of app/ioc.ts unimportant, contents of tests/test.ts are:

import ioc = module('../app/ioc'); var container = new ioc.container(); 

if compile so:

tsc test.ts 

then run so:

node test 

all's good! file runs without errors. however! if run this:

tsc -e test.ts 

i following error:

module.js:340     throw err;           ^ error: cannot find module '../app/ioc'     @ function.module._resolvefilename (module.js:338:15)     @ function.module._load (module.js:280:25)     @ module.require (module.js:364:17)     @ require (module.js:380:17)     @ object.<anonymous> (d:/dropbox/work/sandbox/prototyping/typescript/tests/test.js:1:73)     @ module._compile (module.js:456:26)     @ object.run (c:\users\nathan\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc.js:56041:30)     @ batchcompiler.run (c:\users\nathan\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc.js:56563:29)     @ batchcompiler.batchcompile (c:\users\nathan\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc.js:56795:26)     @ object.<anonymous> (c:\users\nathan\appdata\roaming\npm\node_modules\typescript\bin\tsc.js:56908:7) 

any ideas?

your code fine. -e flag being removed tsc, partly because doesn't play nicely sort of scenario. executing arbitrary js in context of compiler process turns out not idea.
