Description
- VSCode Version: 1.28.2 (or insiders)
- OS Version: Arch linux
When trying to auto-import node modules within a rush project, intellisense will not locate dependencies. This also results in the editor crashing or re-initializing the TS server somewhat often.
This is likely due to rush's unique node module structure, and it's unclear if this ever worked as I have only adopted rush somewhat recently.
Steps to Reproduce:
You can replicate this issue within the web-build-tools repo itself.
- Open https://github.com/Microsoft/web-build-tools/blob/master/libraries/ts-command-line/src/index.ts
- type
Colorsin the top level (from the colors module). You shouldn't be able to resolve the symbol.
eg.
const foo: Colors = {};
export {
CommandLineAction,
ICommandLineActionOptions
} from './CommandLineAction';This also seems to correlate with the editor's TS server crashing intermittently, but its not clear how to reproduce.
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
Versions tested:
- rush v5.5.2 / v5.3.0
- node 6 / node 10
- vscode v1.28.2 / insiders
- with either of: npm, yarn or pnpm (all latest)
- has been tested on multiple linux systems
Workaround
If you execute the below script to replace symlinks with real files:
mv node_modules node_modules_old
rsync node_modules_old/ node_modules/ -a --copy-links -v
Everything should work as expected.
There seems to be an issue with symlinks.
