JSDoc intellisense not working if package.json is nested

[rheaditi]

Issue Type: Bug

Hey guys! 👋

I have several projects that I work with. I've noticed that jsdoc intellisense does not seem to be working in those projects where the package.json file is nested within a sub-folder. Opening the sub-folder directly in VSCode loads the jsdoc helpers however.

Is there a configuration that I need to set up to get jsdoc intellisense working for these scenarios.

Thanks! 😄

Please provide a small project that demonstrates this issue

@mjbvz I'm unable to reproduce this problem in a fresh project. I suspect we have some obscure configuration in our projects which are creating conflicts/issues.

Since it's a closed source project, I might not be able to share the exact configuration.

Our structure is somewhat like this:

.
├── Jenkinsfile
├── README.md
├── ops
│   └── ...
└── src
    ├── app.js
    ├── bin
    ├── config
    ├── node_modules
    ├── package-lock.json
    ├── package.json
    ├── public
    ├── routes
    ├── tests
    ├── utils
    ├── views
    └── webpack.config.js

When I open the root directory above, intellisense for require()s or identifiers doesn't work for files such as app.js. However if I open the src directory directly in vscode, it seems to work..

If you could point me towards what could be possible problems or how to debug the intellisense, it would help a lot!

[mjbvz]

At the root of src, try creating a jsconfig.json with the content:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6"
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "**/node_modules/*"
    ]
}

Does this resolve the problem? You can also try moving the jsconfig up to the root of the project if having it in src does not work
