VSCode auto complete not finding symbols

[anttih]

If you comment out the import

import { awesomeFn } from "@quramy/x-core";

from x-cli/src/main.ts, and try to auto import it again by typing awesomeFn somewhere in that file, VSCode doesn't find that symbol nor suggest it for auto import. Why is this?

We can see from the tsserver logs that the .d.ts file from x-core is not opened:

Adding a types key to tsconfig.settings.json seems to fix this:

    "types" : ["@quramy/x-core"]

Adding the types field isn't really a fix since then other libraries or not found.

To me this issue is very strange because the types for x-core are not found but types for other libraries are found.

Did you manage to find a solution to this?

The best I've got so far is adding

"typeRoots": ["node_modules/@types", "../x-core"],

however then VSCode imports relative paths (../x-core/dist/something) instead of aliases (@quramy/x-core)
