BlankCordovaApp1 build error

I installed visual studio 2013 community edition, and created a "JavaScript -> Apache Cordova Apps" named BlankCordovaApp1 using template, and didn't change any code.

When I build for Device|Debug|Android, Output window shows: (I also tried to build for other platform, got same error.)

1>------ Build started: Project: BlankCordovaApp1, Configuration: Debug Android ------
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\TypeScript\Microsoft.TypeScript.targets(95,5): warning : The TypeScript Compiler was given no files for compilation, so it will skip compiling.

I didn't see any error but a warning, and Chrome also didn't show any project page.

My environment: Windows 7 Enterprise, Service Pack 1 Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition, Update 4 Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova CTP3 Chrome 40.0.2214.115 m

I was able to solve my problem this way:

First I had to go to Tools, Options, Projects and Solutions, Build and Run and changed MsBuild project build output to Detailed.

After that I went to Cordova Tools (still inside options) and cleared the cache.

When I tried to build my project again I was able to check a massive output showing the errors, I read through most of it and there was an alert telling me that npm couldn't connect to the internet, probably because of the company proxy.

Since I don't need to set my proxy or its password I tried only to disable SSL on npm by doing this:

npm config set registry "http://registry.npmjs.org"
npm config set strict-ssl false

And it worked really well.

Maybe if you need to change your proxy you can try something like this:

npm config set proxy http://my.proxy.com:1234
npm config set https-proxy http://my.proxy.com:1234

I hope it helps.

EDIT: When I tried to download plugins I couldn't so I had to add my proxy using the above lines and them it all worked (both the running the app + the plugin downloading).

Update VS Tools for Cordova to the latest version (0.3.2 as of today), and you will see the error in the Output or Error List window.

Otherwise go to %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\vs-mda and edit vs-cli.cmd as follows:

node "%~dp0\app.js" %* > vs-mda.log 2> vs-mda-err.log

This will dump build logs to these files in your project folder.
