const tusk = require("tusk");
const buildDir = "./dist";
const coordinator = new tusk.Coordinator();
async function build() {
const result = await coordinator
.queue(() => tusk.FileOps.forceRemove(buildDir))
.queue(() => tusk.ScriptOps.execute("tsc"))
.run();
console.log("Build completed with state %s", result.state === tusk.RunState.OK ? "OK" : "FAIL");
}
build();
