error TS5023: Unknown compiler option 'exclude'. in gulpfile,js

[Manoj-Chakladar]

-->

Expected behavior: I am running the gulp compile command but i am getting an error saying:
error TS5023: Unknown compiler option 'exclude'.](url)
Also I am getting only the config.json file in DIST folder after compilation.

Actual behavior: The command should run successfully without any error's. Also i should get all the TS files from SRC folder as JS files in DIST folder.

Your gulpfile:
///
var gulp = require('gulp');
var ts = require('gulp-typescript');
var zip = require('gulp-zip');
var del = require('del');
var install = require('gulp-install');
var runSequence = require('run-sequence');
var awsLambda = require("node-aws-lambda");
var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
var gulpMocha = require('gulp-mocha');
var gutil = require('gulp-util');

const babel = require('gulp-babel');
gulp.task('clean', function () {
return del(['./dist','./testJs', './dist.zip']);
});

gulp.task('compile', function () {
return gulp.src(['src//*.ts' ]) //'typings//.d.ts'])
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(ts({
noImplicitAny: false,
removeComments: true,
preserveConstEnums: true,
target: 'es2015',
module: 'commonjs',
noExternalResolve: true,
exclude: ["node_modules", "dist"]
}))
.pipe(babel({
presets: [ 'es2015' ],
plugins: ['transform-runtime']
}))
// sourceRoot must be relative to the running directory
// It appears VSCode does resolve the path relative to the cwd
// so using something like /src doesn't work, it has to be relative
// to the /dist folder where we will run the app from
// Need to test if maps help when errors are thrown in aws and if we should upload them
.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.', { sourceRoot: '../src' }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'))
,
gulp.src(['src/**/.json'])
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
});

gulp.task('node-mods', function () {
return gulp.src('./package.json')
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/'))
.pipe(install({ production: true }));
});

gulp.task('zip', function () {
return gulp.src(['dist/**/', '!dist/package.json', '!dist/.map'])
.pipe(zip('1033_RMSG_MRDR.zip'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/zip/'));
});

/* gulp.task('upload', ['zip'], function (callback) {
awsLambda.deploy('./MME_TO_SAP EAC_VS_CODE PROJECT.zip', require("./lambda-config.js"), callback);
}); */

gulp.task('deploy', function (callback) {
return runSequence(
'clean',
'compile',
'compiletest',
'test',
'node-mods',
callback
);
});

.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.', { sourceRoot: '../test' }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./testJs'));
});

gulp.task('test', function(){
return gulp.src(['testJS/**/*.js'],{read:false})
.pipe(gulpMocha({reporter:'list'}))
.on('error', gutil.log);
})

tsconfig.json

Screenshots

If you see in the above screenshot after compilation only config.json is available where i am expecting all the file in JS format from SRC.

And this is the error i get while running the command gulp compile.
