I've noticed that string requires seem to be based exclusively off of the file system regardless of luau-lsp.platform.type or the presence of a sourcemap file. This means that using a default.project.json that points elsewhere doesn't actually do anything and lints an error like so:
file structure:
exampleModule/default.project.json
{
"name": "exampleModule",
"tree": {
"$path": "src"
}
}main.luau
-- TypeError: Unknown require: [...]\repro\exampleModule\init.lua
local exampleModule = require("./exampleModule")This is especially problematic since this makes using git submodules that are formatted this way very impractical and irritating.
I suppose that DataModel based requires still work fine like so:
local exampleModule = require(script.Parent.exampleModule)
...but I feel like this should also just be supported, since technically the first example I gave would run perfectly well in a Roblox environment.
