Prevent autocomplete from importing random stuff from beyond root directory!!!!

[techsin]

• VSCode Version: 1.21.1
• OS Version: Win10 64

Steps to Reproduce:

1. write impf and press Tab.

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

Problem is that I'm trying to trigger a snippet. So I type something that I THINK would trigger that snippet. Something like impf for import ... from ....;. But it goes ahead and find 50 random functions from node_modules and if you press tab it also goes and include it at the top. Not sure why it never does so for my modules, which would be very convenient, but it always does for node_modules.

I don't understand under which scenario I'd need to add individual methods from node_modules. Usually node_modules contain whole package/libraries that you use not individual functions.

Is there a way to prevent this???

Please share your jsconfig.json.

{
	"compilerOptions": {
		"target": "es6"
	},
	"exclude": [
		"node_modules",
		"../../node_modules",
		"**/node_modules/*"
	]
}

Where is the jsconfig within your project?

[techsin]

frontend/src/jsconfig.json

this is also where all frontend scripts are

frontend folder is at root of project along package.json, app.js, webpack.config.js, etc.

Try creating another jsconfig in the root of your project with:

{
	"exclude": [
		"node_modules",
		"**/node_modules/*"
	]
}

I don't think the one in the subdirectory can exclude node_modules using ../../node_modules

[techsin]

Tried, No difference still seeing suggestions from ../../node_modules

[techsin]

tried starting with code --disable-extensions same result

[techsin]

moved jsconfig.json to root of project, no effect either

on windows 10 btw

Please try the current insiders build.

If you still see this issue in that, please try collecting the tsserver log:

1. Add "typescript.tsserver.log": "verbose" to your user settings and restart VSCode.
2. Reproduce the issue
3. Run the TypeScript: Open TS Server log command. This should open a folder with a tsserver.log file. Open that file

Look for where the files from node_modules are being referenced. If you can share the logs I can try looking through them to see what is going on

⚠️Warning: The TypeScript log may include information from your workspace, including file paths and source code. If you have any concerns about posting this publicly on Github, just let me know and we can arrange something else. On our side, we only use these logs to investigate issues like this

I noticed if I delete local node_modules folder it doesn't show suggestions from global node_modules folder ../../AppData/......... weird..
