What steps should I take to customize WebStorm so that it no longer automatically imports the entire Typescript paths?

Recently, I noticed a change in WebStorm after an update that affected how paths were imported in my files. Initially, when typing @Component and letting WebStorm automatically import the path, it would use the following format:

import { Component } from @angular/core

However, more recently, it has been importing the full paths instead:

import { Component } from '@angular/core/src/metadata/directives';

I am wondering if there is a configuration setting that can be adjusted to fix this issue.

[EDIT] Upon further investigation, I found that copying and pasting code into a file imports the dependencies correctly. This seems to be a glitch specific to my current setup.

It appears that only Angular libraries are experiencing this problem, leading me to believe it could be an issue with the Angular plugin. I have contacted JetBrains about this but have not received any solutions yet.

Answer №1

Upon logging back in one day, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bug had been resolved. It seems that the issue stemmed from the Angular Plugin malfunctioning with imports from other libraries. Various troubleshooting methods I attempted included:

  • Restarting Webstorm/My entire operating system (coming from a Windows background)
  • Using File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...
  • Experimenting with different import configurations
  • Fixing a broken Webpack.config file (setting a default entry point)
  • Reinstalling the Angular Plugin
  • Deleting all WebStorm Configuration settings, restarting, and manually rebuilding the configuration
  • Filing a bug report with JetBrains only to be met with the support staff's uncertainty

Unfortunately, none of the above strategies proved effective. I wish someone from JetBrains could provide guidance on how to improve communication when reporting bugs.

While not a direct solution to the bug, if others encounter a similar issue in their code, I hope this information can assist them in debugging.
