On MacOS, VSCode encounters an issue with updating TypeScript imports when files are moved

I recently started transitioning a project from a mixed JS/TS setup to fully TypeScript. The project's server is hosted on AWS Lambda, and I have a tsconfig file at the root level as well as one in the /lambdas directory.

One issue I've encountered is that when I move a TypeScript file, VSCode prompts me to update imports, which I agree to. However, this only fixes the imports within the moved file itself and does not update any dependencies that reference the moved file. Interestingly, JavaScript imports are able to correctly update files that are also JavaScript, even though I have a jsconfig set up too.

Any ideas on what might be causing this misconfiguration?

Below is the relevant file structure where the movements are made within /lambdas subfolders:

-- lib
  tsconfig.json
-- lambdas
tsconfig.json

Both tsconfig files currently have identical configurations:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": true,
    "target": "ES2020",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "lib": ["es2020", "dom"],
    "declaration": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "strict": true,
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "strictNullChecks": true,
    "noImplicitThis": true,
    "alwaysStrict": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": false,
    "noUnusedParameters": false,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": false,
    "inlineSourceMap": true,
    "inlineSources": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "strictPropertyInitialization": false,
    "typeRoots": ["./node_modules/@types"]
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "cdk.out"]
}

For example, here is a failed import update within lambdas/tests:

import { makeBiFriendship, makeUniFriendship } from '../routes/users_ts'; // should be ../routes/users/users_ts

Answer №1

After some investigation, I discovered a partial solution to the problem at hand. It seems that the issue with updating ts imports stemmed from my oversight in not setting an outDir, causing my generated files to be intermingled with my source code (the outDir being a new concept for me). By relocating both the users_ts.d.ts and users_ts.js files together, the final import updates were successful.

Interestingly, while moving js files resulted in updated js imports, the same did not apply to imports within ts files.
