jsconfig.json gives ts errors

Question

I am having jsconfig.json in my root directory using Nuxt.js project. And I am having an error:

File '/home/mike/Documents/nuxt/node_modules/dotenv/types' not found.
  The file is in the program because:
    Root file specified for compilation

Actually 5 errors in a first line of jsconfig.json:

I don't even use typescript and I didn't set any typescript options while creating Nuxt.js project

jsconfig.json content:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "~/*": ["./*"],
      "@/*": ["./*"],
      "~~/*": ["./*"],
      "@@/*": ["./*"]
    }
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules", ".nuxt", "dist"]
}

I don't understand where they come from. How do I get rid of this errors? There's no option quick fix so I can't ignore errors for entire file

Answer 1

After trying several solutions, I have just added "exclude": ["node_modules"] and restarted VScode. The error went away.

Have you tried putting it on jsconfig.json ? – Chretien

I honestly don’t remember what did I do, but the error is gone. – Kempf

Seem to be working after adding it to jsconfig.json. – Lapotin

Answer 2

Just reload VSCode by typing ctrl + shift + p then type reload window and it should work.

Answer 3

I ran into this and just exiting and relaunching VSCode (from the icon) seemed to fix it.

I'd originally started via code . so I'm thinking perhaps the instance with the error had picked up a weird env var from my terminal.

Answer 4

In my case the problem was that the project is in a subfolder inside monorepo.

So the solution was changing it into add ./ before node_modules:

"exclude": ["./node_modules", ".nuxt", "dist"],

Try to install and rebuild project, Hope this will help,

 npm install --save @types/dotenv

Thanks for the suggestion, but I just initialized github repo and the problem disappeared. If the problem will appear again I'll try your solution. – Kempf

I sorta figured it out, the error message appears on a fresh start (when I run my PC and open VSCode) and the error message disappears once I commit changes to my GitHub repo. Do you have any idea why would it be like that? – Kempf

Strange behavior, not sure why this, but I will suggest install 'types' as suggested above or delete node_modules and package-lock.json and install fresh npm. – Samal

adding the types manually gives warning npm WARN deprecated @types/[email protected]: This is a stub types definition. dotenv provides its own type definitions, so you do not need this installed. – Reflection

Answer 6

This error usually comes from different @types (typescript) folders with conflicting versions try to delete the folder from folder & see what happens.
