Editor doesn't detect typings in "typings/globals"

[MartinHaeusler]

• VSCode Version: 1.3.1
• OS Version: Windows 10, 64bit

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a regular typescript project with the files provided below.
2. Remove the ".txt" file endings to make them json files again (github doesn't allow .json endings as attachments, sorry)
3. Run "npm install"
4. Run "typings install"
5. Create a *.ts file that imports the 'react' module
6. Look at the typescript error you are getting from the editor.

In short: any typings file that ends up in "typings/globals" will NOT be detected by the editor. However, when running through the typscript compiler, e.g. via webpack, everything's fine. It's only the editor, which is really annoying.

@MartinHaeusler the problem is that most of the properties in the tsconfig.json file are not supported by the 'native' tsc compiler. I tried your example and compiling it with the tsc compiler from the node_modules folder and it fails as well.

error TS6053: File 'P:/mseng/VSCode/Playgrounds/bugs/10042/src/**/*.ts' not found.
error TS6053: File 'P:/mseng/VSCode/Playgrounds/bugs/10042/src/**/*.tsx' not found.

Since you are using a special version of TS (the unofficial 2.0.0 version) you need to let VS Code know about this as well. You can do so by using the following setting:

    "typescript.tsdk": "./node_modules/typescript/lib"

This makes a simple ts file work for me:

@dbaeumer: Yes we are using typescript 2.0.0. I was wondering how to tell vscode which version to use but I could not find it anywhere in the documentation. I will try this as soon as I get back into the office, thanks a lot!

adding "typescript.tsdk": "./node_modules/typescript/lib" in .vscode/settings.json works :+1:
