JavaScript Included as Additional File loses Intellisense
Visual Studio Version
17.3.1
Summary
I created a source/incremental generator to parse javascript files.
In order to do so, an entry like this one has to go into the .csproj file like so:
<ItemGroup>
<AdditionalFiles Include="file2.js" />
</ItemGroup>
this disables all intellisense when editing the javascript file. CTRL+K+D no longer formats the document.
It isn't the source generator.
Steps to Reproduce
- Add an <AdditionalFiles Include="File2.js" /> to an item group in the csproj file.
- Try to edit the javascript file (type this),
var a = document.getElementById('a1');
Expected Behavior
minimal intellisense after typing anything after "document.".
Actual Behavior
No Intellisense whatsoever.

@TorreyGarland why do you need to mark the javascript file as an AdditionalFile at all? Why can it not just be a source file?
I am building a source generator to generate C# code based on the static file urls, similar to how T4MVC/R4MVC used to work.
I have the following in my CS Proj file to "interrogate" everything in a Blazor wwwroot folder.
<ItemGroup>
<AdditionalFiles Include="$(ProjectDir)/wwwroot/**/*" />
</ItemGroup>
Intellisense for CSS/SCSS files do not appear to be affected.
What is it about additional files that causes the intellisense to flake out.
