VSCode jsconfig.json error "node_modules/agent-base/dist/src/index" not found

Question

Why is VSCode showing this error?

It's just a jsconfig.json file.

NOTE: I'm not using TypeScript.

Answer 1

Try adding "exclude": ["node_modules"] as described in the VSCode docs.

I added this and restarted VSCode and the error message went away.

This worked. Restarting VSCode is very important in this case. – Poor

I had to include a slash for it work "node_modules/" – Meet

It's enough to restart the TS Server instead of restarting VS Code. Open the command palette and search for: TypeScript: Restart TS Server. – Grovel

This doesn't work for me. Even including a slash like other users have suggested still doesn't work. And I properly restarted and everything. – Edenedens

Answer 2

Disabling typescript in the workspace options seems to be the one thing that stopped this warning for me:

"typescript.validate.enable": false,

The only response that actually fixed it for me. Thanks Steve! – Magnitude

Answer 3

Add "exclude": [ "node_modules/**/*", ], in the tsconfig.json file and if it still doesn't work, try reloading the VSCode by pressing Crtl + Shift + P and Reload Window and it should work.

It's damn correct, worth thousand likes! – Steffy

Answer 4

I was facing the issue in Vuejs/Nuxtjs project:

1. Check the jsconfig.json file in root and include the following things if not available already: "exclude": ["node_modules"]

{
    "compilerOptions": {
      "target": "es6",
      "baseUrl": "."
    },
    "exclude": ["node_modules"]
  }
  

Important

2. If you are getting the error even after having these values then you SHOULD RESTART vs code application

Answer 5

I also had some issues like this while using node modules. I just recreated the project copied and pasted all the code that i needed and installed every node modules after that i was able to fix the issue. However i dont recommend for large projects.

I found I need a slash in the path for this to work: "exclude": ["node_modules/"] – Etymologize

Just FYI, this not considered as solution, it's a workaround that solved your problem by chance!. – Hulse
