Directory Structure

| tsconfig.json
| node_modules
| src
    | bootstrap.ts
    ...
| ...

tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "./built",
        "moduleResolution": "node"
    },
    "include":[
        "./src/**/*"
    ]
}

Running on Windows 10, Cygwin.

Expected behavior:
The configuration file tsconfig.json would be found and identified by tsserver. When running via tsc, the code is compiled as expected indicating the tsconfig.json file IS being loaded.

Actual behavior:
'No config files found' presented by tsserver. On a MacOS machine with a identical config, directory structure, and node packages, the config file is identified correctly.

The lack of this configuration file means that when using vim-ale to lint my Typescript projects, all modules come back as 'Unable to find module X' as the tsserver is not using the configuration file (namely, "moduleResolution": "node").

Worth noting that /home/HarryF/ImportProcessor/tsconfig.json is the absolute path of the config file. In the tsserver log however, this is all I get regarding that path
Info 12 [18:41:45.1] ConfigFilePresence:: Current Watches: :: File: /home/HarryF/ImportProcessor/tsconfig.json Currently impacted open files: RootsOfInferredProjects: OtherOpenFiles: /home/HarryF/ImportProcessor/src/classes/Application.ts Status: File added to open files impacted by this config file

I don't even fully understand what that means, but for one reason or another that config file is simply not being used and tsserver is using an 'inferredProject'. Full log file can be provided if required.

The project can be found here.

@hbomb79 I don't see this issue on my windows machine with the code you shared. Can you please share tsserver log to see if something went wrong? Thanks.

You can upload logs by following these steps:

1. With "typescript.tsserver.log": "verbose" enabled
2. Restart vscode or vscode insiders
3. Reproduce the problem
4. You can share the logs using
   • either by sharing logs in the folder that gets opened by running open tsserver log from command palette
     or
   • Run code --upload-logs on the command line (or code-insiders --upload-logs if using vscode insiders) and follow instructions and Then share the log file ID

Hey @sheetalkamat, thanks for offering your assistance. I'm not using VSCode or anything like that; I'm simply running tsserver either directly or using the executable inside of node_modules/.bin. I don't have a open or code command to use, I assume they're related to VSCode?

This is the full log file from using export TSS_LOG='-level verbose' before running tsserver.

I've used pastebin to link to my log file as it's size was too large to include here.

[hbomb79]

I'm using Windows with Cygwin; I can't use cmd as I only noticed to problem because vim is calling tsserver for it's linting; It isn't vims fault though as the problem appears even when I call tsserver myself.

tsserver was working for a time, and now it's magically stopped. I genuinely have no idea why.

[hbomb79]

I just cleared out my npm as well, I now have no packages installed except typescript and the problem still occurs. The config file is right. there. Yet tsserver ignores it... I've tried pretty much everything I can over the last 4 days before resorting to filing an issue in the hopes of being pointed in the right direction as to what the problem is.

[sheetalkamat]

Cant make out much from your tsserver log. May be check if tsserver process has access to the config file location.

Sorry, @hbomb79 did you find anything? Currently experiencing this on GNU Linux and Vim + coc extensions
