Module build failed: Error: Typescript emitted no output for

When I try to compile a .ts file I get the following error:

Module build failed: Error: Typescript emitted no output for C:\xampp\htdocs\node-api\src\js\server.ts. 
at successLoader (C:\xampp\htdocs\node-api\node_modules\ts-loader\dist\index.js:39:15)
at Object.loader (C:\xampp\htdocs\node-api\node_modules\ts-loader\dist\index.js:21:12)

For compiling I use the following config files.

Webpack:

const path = require( 'path' ),
    CleanWebpackPlugin = require( 'clean-webpack-plugin' );

module.exports = env => {
    return {
        mode: env.dev ? 'development' : 'production',
        entry: {
            'server': './src/js/server.ts'
        },
        output: {
            path: __dirname,
            filename: './dist/js/[name].js',
        },
        externals: '/node_modules',
        module: {
            rules: [
                {
                    test: /\.js$/,
                    exclude: ['/node_modules/', '/src/scss/'],
                    use: [
                        'babel-loader'
                    ]
                },
                {
                    test: /\.ts(x?)$/,
                    exclude: ['/node_modules/', '/src/scss/'],
                    use: [
                        'babel-loader',
                        'ts-loader',
                    ]
                },
                {
                    test:  /\.json$/,
                    loader: 'json-loader'
                },
            ]
        },
        resolve: {
            extensions: ['.ts', '.tsx', '.js' ],
            alias: {
                '@': path.resolve(__dirname, './src/js')
            }
        },
        plugins: [
            new CleanWebpackPlugin(['./dist/js', './dist/css']),
        ]
    }
};

Typescript:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "removeComments": true,
        "preserveConstEnums": true,
        "allowJs": true,
        "outDir": "./dist/js",
        "target": "es5",
        "moduleResolution": "node",
        "module": "es2015",
        "lib": [
            "es2015",
            "es2016"
        ]
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

Babel:

{
    "presets": [
        [
            "env", {
                "targets": {
                    "node": "current"
                }
            }
        ],
        "stage-2", "es2015"
    ],
    "plugins": ["dynamic-import-node"]
}

As suggested in some other questions I've already changed the order of resolve extensions but that didn't solve it (.js before .ts) . Typescript 2.8.3 is used in combination with Node 8.11.1 and Mongoose 5.0.15 and compiled by Webpack 4.6. So I'm still wondering how to to solve the error mentioned above.

Please set noEmit to false in your tsconfig.json. By default it sets to true, once we change it to false we may not get this error.

"noEmit": false
