Can not find global types when the globa types are installed in a subdirectory

[b1zzu]

• VSCode Version: 1.40.1
• OS Version: Fedora 31 - Linux 5.3.11

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new project that looks like this:

   examples/
   foo/
     node_modules
       @types/
         jest/
     test/
       bar.test.ts
     jest.config.js
     tsconfig.json # this is extending the parent one tsconfig
     package.json
   node_modules/
   tsconfig.json
   package.json
   

2. Open the project in vscode

3. vscode will show errors like this:

   

   in bar.test.ts

   but if I cd into the foo example and I run the tests
   npm test I will not have any typescript error

   also if I remove extends from the tsconfig.json the error
   will disappear

Is also possible to reproduce this issue by using this project: https://github.com/aerogear/graphql-testx

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

I can't repo this in the following case:

1. Open the root of https://github.com/aerogear/graphql-testx
2. Npm i in root and under examples/offix/test/
3. Open examples/offix/test/offline.test.ts in VS Code

Can you please share repo steps using the linked to repo?

Hi @mjbvz, thanks to reaching me out, I played with the project in the latest days and I found out that the offline.test.ts was not included in any tsconfig.json but because I was using ts-node the code was working, I've fixed it in some of the latest versions, this is probably the reason why you can't reproduce it.

It should be possible to reproduce it using this commit: https://github.com/aerogear/graphql-testx/tree/217a98ace795454eb7b281f4d635daba4493eea7

but at this point, I don't know whatever to still consider it a bug.
