The code no longer builds

[areve]

The code no longer builds, I don't use the program and there are alternatives on the marketplace.

If someone can workout why the build fails I'll have a go at updating it with the latest pull request.

Have you validated against an untouched vss.d.ts like in https://github.com/Microsoft/vss-web-extension-sdk/tree/master/typings ?

I guess dependency packages changed and now they all need updating. If I were to fix it I'd probably use "yarn" to get all the files and check in the yarn.lock file. and then probably delete the grunt update command. I've had a quick go, but I don't have time now to investigate further.

Most of the code in this repo is unnecessary. There's really nothing to build the way the widget is structured. You don't need Visual Studio or Grunt for this, and you can use VSCode to edit the files and create a package.

I will give you a pull request that fixes the problems.
