[TypeScript] Go to definition goes to *.d.ts when across project references

[zen0wu]

The issue is, with project reference, going to the generated declaration file is really inconvenient. It should be possible to go directly into the source file.

Not sure this is a dup since many issues have been reported and it's unclear whether they're fixed, or whether it's a vscode or TS issue.

Maybe it's related to microsoft/TypeScript#16792 ?

• VSCode Version: 1.33.1
• OS Version: OS X 10.14.4

Steps to Reproduce:

1. clone https://github.com/RyanCavanaugh/project-references-demo.git
2. run gulp core; gulp animals
3. open the project using vscode
4. navigate to animals/dog.ts
5. do go to definition on the second line, either on the file name or the symbol name
6. vscode will go into utilities.d.ts

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Can you please try adding "declarationMap": true to the compilerOptions in your tsconfig. This will generated a map so that go to definition can just back to the original ts source instead of the generated d.ts

I think you're right. I did not know that!

Thanks a lot! Closing
