title: Why is vscode giving me the error "No Inputs where found in file tsconfig.json" when tsc found none?
body: <p>This is the config file for my typescript project:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
      "compilerOptions": {
          "sourceMap": true,
          "target": "es5",
          "outFile": "js/app.js"
      },
      "files": [
          "src/main.ts",
          "src/bootstrap.ts",
          "libs/phaser.d.ts"
      ],
      "exclude": [
          "docs",
          "css",
          "index.html"
      ]
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>VS Code is giving me this error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>file: 'file:///e%3A/Programming/TypeScript/tsconfig.json'
    severity: 'Error' message: 'No inputs were found in config file
    'e:/Programming/TypeScript/tsconfig.json'. Specified 'include'
    paths were '["**/*"]' and 'exclude' paths were

  <p>I googled the <a href="https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html" rel="noreferrer">Definition</a> for the tsconfig file, but I couldn't find the source for this error. What am I doing wrong here? When compiling it with tsc, everything is fine.</p>
