When trying to transpile the following TypeScript code containing async and await keywords

async function foo() {
    await bar();
}

I get the following error

src/aa.ts(1,7): error TS1005: ';' expected.
src/aa.ts(2,11): error TS1005: ';' expected.

The result is a .js file with this content

async;
function foo() {
    await;
    bar();
}

I'm using these tsc options: -t es6 -m monjs, following instructions on this MSDN blog. I have TypeScript 1.8.9 installed.

Any ideas?

For some reason the TypeScript piler did not recognize the async and await keywords. This happened even though the TypeScript piler version was of the correct version.

What I did to solve this is uninstall tsc and install typescript globally:

npm uninstall --global tsc
npm install --global typescript

I encountered a similar issue with an asynchronous arrow function:

async resource_type => some_value
// error TS1005: ',' expected.

Typescript was happy once I wrapped my function parameter in parenthesis:

async (resource_type) => some_value
