Why doesn't this problemMatcher in VS code wor

Question

Why doesnt my problemMatcher work? I'm pretty sure about the regex, but it doesn't report any problems, even there are some on stdout...

// the matcher
"problemMatcher": {
    "owner": "typescript",
    "fileLocation": ["relative", "${workspaceRoot}"],
    "pattern": {
        "regexp": "^TypeScript (warning|error): (.*)\\((\\d+),(\\d+)\\): (.*)$",
        "severity": 1,
        "file": 2,
        "line": 3,
        "column": 4,
        "message": 5
    }
}

//the browserify/tsify pipeline
browserify().add('main.ts')
  .plugin(tsify, { noImplicitAny: false, removeComments:true })
  .transform("babelify",{ extensions: ['.ts'], presets: ["es2015"]})
  .bundle()
  .on('error', function (error) { console.log(error.toString()); })
  .pipe(source('bundle.js'))
  .pipe(gulp.dest('www/js/dist/'));

//gulp sample output

I resolved the problem by putting tasks.json into .vscode folder. I initially thought tasks.json would be found like tsconfig.json (project-root), but it turned out to be wrong.
