ts-node-dev: compile error is not printed out

Sometimes when I run with a syntax error, I get this output:

> looop@ be /home/capaj/work-repos/looop/project-alpha
> cd ./back-end && NODE_ENV=development LOOOP_ENVIRONMENT=dev DEBUG=looop*,knex:query,knex:bindings ts-node-dev --transpileOnly src/server.js

Using ts-node version 8.1.0, typescript version 3.4.5
  looop:knexfile dbName:  looop +0ms
  looop:aws mocking aws.SES +0ms
  looop:aws mocking aws.SQS +0ms
[ERROR] 20:05:54 ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:

would be nicer if it showed an error

what the… I don’t get errors in the console too. What happened? ts-node and tsc show errors correctly

I’m having the same issue, no TS errors displayed in the console when running:

ts-node-dev --respawn src/index.ts
ts-node-dev --respawn --transpile-only src/index.ts

version: "ts-node-dev": "^1.0.0-pre.44",

My whole build/run env is in Docker (Compose) using the node:10-alpine image. Just now I had typing errors showing as expected in the console after removing the transpileOnly flag.
