Tsconfig show typescript file not found error after moving it to another directory or delete it.

[kimlimjustin]

Issue Type: Bug

When I move a typescript file from a directory into another directory or delete the file from vscode, it shows a problem in tsconfig.json file:

File '/home/justin/Projects/dochub/src/menu.ts' not found.
The file is in the program because:
Matched by include pattern '**/* ' in '/home/justin/Projects/dochub/tsconfig.json' ts [1, 1]

I mean, yeah of course it's not found because I moved it into another directory.

Reopening vscode will solve this, but it is annoying ... Hope this will be fixed soon :)

Please share your tsconfig and a overview of your project structure

[kimlimjustin]

It's an electron project, structure:

...
├── node_modules
├── src                          # Source code
│   ├── config                 
│           ├── theme.json
│   ├── drives.ts
│   ├── main.ts
│   ├── preload.js
│   ├── theme.js
├── package-lock.json
├── package.json
├── README.md
└── tsconfig.json

My tsconfig.json file is generated by tsc --init command.

I am not able to repro this with simple delete or file move.. Can you create a small repro project and list the steps (where are you moving file or which file are you deleting) Also sharing tsserver.log would be very helpful. Thanks
You can upload logs by following these steps:

1. Set "typescript.tsserver.log": "verbose"
2. Restart vscode or vscode insiders
3. Reproduce the problem
4. In vscode or vscode insiders, run the TypeScript: Open TS Server log command
5. This should open a large file called tsserver.log. Please share this file. Additionally you can also share file ti.log created next to it.

You can repro this bug by these steps:

1. Clone the electron-quick-start
2. Change main.js to main.ts
3. Edit the main value on package.json to main.ts
4. Create a new file called hello.ts
   Code for hello.ts:

   const Hello = () => {
      return "Hello World"
   }
   
   module.exports = Hello
   

5. Inside the preload.js file add these line:

   const hello = require('./test/hello.ts')
   hello()
   

6. Create a new folder called test, move hello.ts into the folder, update import on the preload.js file
7. Problem occurs

tsserver.log
ti-66130.log

Following.
I had a similar issue come up after duplicating a .tsx file and then renaming the copy.

I always have this error when moving unused *.ts files to another folder or deleting them.

TypeScript error in undefined(undefined,undefined):
File '<path>/pipeline-editor/src/DragNDrop/Sidebar copy.tsx' not found.
  The file is in the program because:
    Matched by include pattern 'src' in '<path>\pipeline-editor\tsconfig.json'  TS6053

I have to kill and re-run npm start to make it work again
