Specs not found in using scripts tag in package.json for Protractor - protractor

Question

In pretest command "tsc" i have used so that file should convert to js. This command changes ts code to js. Now in config js file specs extension remains TS example- file "testspec.ts" not js. extension is not changing. Due to this i am facing specs not found. Extension should also change in configuration.js of specs file.How can i resolve this, so that i just have to give command npm run test and my testcase executes.
Code of package.json
{

"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "cucumberframework",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "protractor JSFiles/configuration.js",

I figured out the error.
In config file of ts extension need to pass spec with js extension only. scripts tag will not automatically change spec extension. It has to be passed by user in config ts file.
