No output with gulp-typescript

I have two tasks in my tasks.json file, a build-task and a gulp task that uses gulp-typescript. The latter won't work, and I really don't understand why. They're both using the same tsconfig.json file.

The gulp-task ("tsc"), executes without errors, but does not generate the src/test.js file (outFile). I can't find it elsewhere in the folder-tree, either. The build task generates the file, tho.

Is there some version mismatch between typescript and gulp-typescript? There has been so many changes and Googling the "correct" way is very hard.

I was hoping gulp-typescript was just a transparent layer around typescript. Obviously, its not (it seems to have its own way of generating sourcemaps, etcetera. Some tsconfig.json settings seems to be ignored by gulp-typescript).

tasks.json:

For other Javascript newbies like me out there, don't manually "beautify" code with extra line-breaks, especially not at return statements;

Turned out that my gulp-typescript task didn't execute the pipe because of that. Took me almost two days to figure out. Doh.

Do:

return tsResult.js
       .pipe(sourcemaps.write())
       .pipe(gulp.dest(project.source.path));

Instead of:

return 
     tsResult.js
       .pipe(sourcemaps.write())
       .pipe(gulp.dest(project.source.path));
