Compiler won't work outside of src repo

[madhavajay]

I am trying to use the capnpc-ts compiler but it only works if I run it from inside a checkout of https://github.com/jdiaz5513/capnp-ts.

For example:

$ pwd
/Users/madhavajay/dev/capnp-ts
$ capnpc -o ./node_modules/capnpc-ts/bin/capnpc-ts.js address.capnp
$ ls | grep address
address.capnp
address.capnp.d.ts
address.capnp.js

However if I use either:

$ npm install -g capnpc-ts
$ pwd
/Users/madhavajay/dev/my_project
$ capnpc -o ts address.capnp

or the same with:

$ capnpc -o ts./node_modules/capnpc-ts/bin/capnpc-ts.js address.capnp

I have tried copying a few of the tsconfig files over but I think im missing something more obvious.

Also getting this same issue

I'm getting same error TypeError: Cannot create property 'pos' on string 'Query' with the latest version 0.7.0. Haven't tested with local build, master is ahead by 3 commits so i wonder if there is a fix there, that's why it's working for @madhavajay
