Typescript scanner error while scanning serveral tsconfig.json files)

Hi, as requested in a separate case (Scanner error after migrating azure devops task to v2 - #4 by Colin) I’m splitting two issues that I originally attributed to the new azure devops tasks.

The scanner return several error like this, associated to the same type of files. Please notice this is a typescript/reactjs repository based on lerna (quite large).

And here a sample content of one of those tsconfig.json

Thanks in advance,

Hey Andrea!

This message:

Is being emitted by the Typescript compiler.

Do you know where this is coming from / why this is set? Was it autogenerated by something, or fall in there by mistake?

I think if you remove it, the Typescript compiler will stop complaining.
