Typing is not recognized in Vscode

[Badisi]

Version: v1.1.1

Issue

Running ng add @wdio/schematics will add a test/tsconfig.e2e.json file.

But Vscode only knowns typescript configuration file named tsconfig.json.

This results in multiple typing errors :

Solution

Use tsconfig.json instead of tsconfig.e2e.json to name the typescript configuration file.

@Badisi what is your experience of having different tsconfig files for app and test files?

[Badisi]

For one, angular is using a tsconfig.json with "module": "es2020" whereas for the tests we need a tsconfig.json with "module": "commonjs"

[christian-bromann]

Ah I remember the issue. Yeah in this case we surely need a separate tsconfig.json.

[Badisi]

The schematics already adds a second tsconfig file in /test, which is great !

But the issue here is that the file is named tsconfig.e2e.json which Vscode doesn't know about...

Making sure we get a test/tsconfig.json instead of test/tsconfig.e2e.json would allow Vscode to find it and properly resolves typing

Sounds like a reasonable solution to me, mind sending in a PR?

[Badisi]

Working on it as we speak but also working on other improvements too ;-)

Thanks so much! Keep them coming ☺️

For this one to work completely we would also have to make sure that the wdio.conf.ts is located in the /test folder.

Otherwise Vscode would also complain about typing.
