Hi Alex,

It runs however I am getting this error when it runs.

 ![working](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/aurelia/original/1X/6728135c4300d1497933828da9c16fe99f7d7ebf.png)

The error is highlighted above in latter post.

It may well be an error with webpack.

This was all in the interests of trying to produce an issue I was having with custom template binding and aurelia-bootstrap.

I am now unable to get gitrun to work and now I find CLI is also particularly hard to get going. I would like to just show you the fact that you cannot update an aurelia-bootstrap typeahead box from within the custom template but bugger me if I cant get any of these options to work… This was the last problem I had and its turned out to be a show stopper.

A-ha…  
ts-loader tries to compile all of the ts ahead of the time…  
modyfy webpack.config:  
`{ test: /\.tsx?$/, loader: "ts-loader" , options: { configFile : 'tsconfig.webpack.json' }},`  
and add tsconfig.webpack.json to root of your project with contents like this

```auto

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "esnext",
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceRoot": "src",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "allowJs": true,
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "lib": [
      "es2017", "dom"
    ]
  },
  "include": [
    "src"
  ] 

}

```
