Description

I'm using OS X 10.10.5 and ST 3126, with Typescript package version 2.0.1 and builds are failing with this error error TS5058: The specified path does not exist: #'/dev/null'.

Compiling from the command line using tsc works fine.

I saw that a fix for this bug was merged yesterday, but the issue still persists.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in the TypeScript Sublime Plugin on OS X 10.10.5 with Sublime Text 3126 and TypeScript 2.0.1, comparing the plugin build with command-line tsc. Trace how the plugin supplies /dev/null and verify the build succeeds without the TS5058 error.
