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

See original GitHub issue

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 😃

I was able to avoid this issue by restarting the typescript server (in vscode: Ctrl+Shift+p -> Typescript: Restart TS Server). I would prefer a proper solution tough.

Good to know I’m not alone! Thought this was a problem with CRA-TypeScript. I did find (someone else’s solution which I scoured upon) that deleting node-modules and then running “yarn” or “npm install” to reinstall them will fix it. A huge pain though, especially with large projects on a slower/older computer…

Actually reopening vscode will fix this, but it’s really really annoying tho, that’s why I opened this issue.
