Refresh definition file (d.ts) after build on linked project

[mjbvz]

From @moshfeu on March 14, 2018 7:54

• VSCode Version: Version 1.21.0 (1.21.0)
• OS Version: OS X 10.11.6 (15G17023)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a project folder with link (npm link) to another local project.
2. The another project has d.ts file. So verify that you can go to definition of the project. (Click on F12 on a function from the another project. (You should be moved to the d.ts file in the node_modules/another_project/dist/d.ts)
3. Update the d.ts file (for example: change the code and let webpack to update the d.ts).

Expected result:

VScode will refresh its intellisense and errors detection.

Actual result

It didn't. Even if I close and open the file. I need to close the vscode instance of my current project and open it again. Only then it count the updated d.ts.

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

Thanks!

Repo:

1. git clone https://github.com/mjbvz/vscode-issue-45738
2. Open b and a in separate vs code windows
3. In b, run npm link ../a
4. In b, open index.ts
5. In a index.d.ts, change the type of abc to something other than string
6. Switch back to b/index.ts

Bug
No update of errors in b/index.ts

There is no "index.js" in b folder.. I tried that in index.ts and it seems to work correctly (I used latest master build (nightly wont be out yet))

[mjbvz]

Yes it should be index.ts. I'll try again once there is a new nightly out. Did you also test on MacOS?

[sheetalkamat]

No checked on windows.. Let me know if it repros on mac os and if possible tsserver log from both vscode sessions with verbose would be best.

@mjbvz were you able to repro this? Also i am assuming in step 5 the change is saved as without that the change wont be visible to other vscode window right?
