The typescript language service does not interpret "this" in object literals correctly.

[snuup]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.97.2
• OS Version: x64 10.0.19045

Steps to Reproduce:

Type the code

let m = { a: 3, f() { return this.a } }

into a file and store it with "js" and then with "ts" extension.

When the language is javascript, the "this" identifier has the type of the literal and this.a is a number.
The same is expected for typescript, but in typescript mode this is any and this.a is "No definition found for 'a'"

Tested with all extensions disabled.
Switching the language mode does not change the behavior, it depends only on the file extension "js" versus "ts".

The expectation is that in typescript mode, the behavior is the same as in javascript and that members are recognized. The type of f() should be a method returning a number. Currently it is recognized as any:

any chance ti fix that? if not i will use classes instead of object literals.

This works fine for me in the Playground, not sure what you're seeing there. Please open a new bug in this repo with the template filled in

Thank you @RyanCavanaugh, today it works for me in the playground and inside VSCode as well. Done.
