AutoImport not working for NPM packages, only in JS/JSX

CharlieIGG commented 5 years ago

Issue Type: Bug

I have this weird issue where AutoImport won't work for NPM packages when using JS or JSX. However it DOES work for:

Local files
when using Typescript instead of JS

I haven't found any issue quite like this, so I finally decided to ask for clues. Any hints at how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Does this reproduce in the latest VS Code insiders build with all extensions disabled?

I'll check it out tomorrow early @mjbvz , thanks for the followup

Closing as we need more information to investigate. @CharlieIGG if this still occurs in the latest VS Code release, please let me know

Guys, my bad. This was in the docs. For the reference of anybody else who stumbles into this:

👉TS projects seems to have no issue regardless of the config, but 👉More often than not, Javascript projects will require the presence of a jsconfig.json file, with at least a basic config as this:

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

Thank you @mjbvz
