Description
Issue Type: Bug
Although TypeScript support is an extension, technically, I could not find a separate repository for it, so I'm submitting here as support is built-in. I can post elsewhere if this is the wrong place.
Since upgrading to 1.60, TypeScript IntelliSense has become very overzealous in wanting to use non-relative paths when auto-importing, to a point where auto-import is now completely unusable in my project. It seems the auto-import greatly prefers to use non-relative paths, particularly path aliases, whenever possible, completely ignoring my settings for relative-ity of auto-imports.
This issue appears on two separate VSCode installs, one on Windows 10 (this one) and one on Ubuntu 20.04.
Here's a setup with an example:
src/
dirA/
index.ts
thing1A.ts
thing2A.ts
dirB/
index.ts
thing1B.ts
thing2B.ts
index.ts
tsconfig.json
package.json
The TSConfig has this:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"paths": {
"~/*": ["src/*"]
}
},
"include": ["src"]
}And my index.ts in each directory has export * from "./thing1A" and export * from "./thing2A".
When editing thing1A.ts and attempting to auto-import modules:
- From another package: uses package name ✔️
- From
dirA/thing2A.ts: uses~/dirA❌ (this should be./thing2A) - From
dirB/index.ts: uses~/dirB✔️ - From
dirB/thing1B.ts: uses../dirB/thing1B❌ (this would be the correct place for the~, why does it do relative imports here!?)
It almost seems like some logic got inverted somewhere for deciding when to use path aliases.
I have also tried every possible option of javascript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier and typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier, but none of them are any different, including the new project-relative.
On the plus side, path aliases didn't work at all for me in 1.59, so this is nice to see it's been worked on.
