[tsserver] CompileOnSaveEmitFile should returns emited files (js, map, d.ts) path

[angelozerr]

I'm consumming "CompileOnSaveEmitFile " with tsserver inside Eclipse. It works great and improve a lot of performance (before I called tsc when for each save of file and performance was not very good).

In Eclipse, when a file is created outside Eclipse (like tsserver generates js, map files), the files doesn't appear in the Navigator files of the Eclipse. We must do a refresh at hand.

It should be very cool if CompileOnSaveEmitFile could returns the file path for each generated files. With this feature I could refresh those files inside Eclipse.

I think CompileOnSaveEmitFile return nothing because the compilation can take time. It should be very cool if tsserver could send an event with emitted files. Thank's for your help!

Actually, compileOnSaveEmitFile does produce a response message. Is that sent only after files are emitted? In that case, the problem is not compilation time, but just knowing the names of produced files.

Maybe this could be done with a message like compileOnSaveAffectedFileList but for emitted files: something like compileOnSaveEmittedFileList. In that way, no traffic would be added to regular compileOnSave messages.

@angelozerr do you still need this or can I close it?

Today I'm retrieving emitted files by hard coding that on client side, but it should be better if we could have thoses emtted files.
