No TypeScript language support in VS Code extension

Glitch VS Code Extension
1

I’m not getting any typescript language feaures in VS Code when I work on a ts project in the Glitch plugin.

TS stuff works perfectly when editing local code files, but when using the Glitch plugin to remotely edit a ts file in a Glitch app:

  • do not get TS/TSLint errors
  • do not get intellisense hinting or code completion

The one TS language feature I do get is that VS Code complains that it can’t find any of my packages, even though they are installed. Seems like maybe it’s ignoring node_modules?

i would suggest doing a global install of typescript items in the root of your pc ( / or C:/ maybe even D:/ if your OS is on a cd) using

npm i -g PKG_NAME

that should let glitch know that you mean business when it comes to having packages installed and treats the global package as a 2 way gate… which i find the vs code extension, does not like very much

I agree that that might fix the issue, but I’m not globally installing these packages just to fix that. The issue seems to be a bug in the Glitch extension where it’s not recognizing that the packages are installed on the VM my app is running on.
