Intellisense no longer working? How to re-enable?

[MrSkinny]

• VSCode Version: 1.0.0
• OS Version: 10.11.4

I'm not sure exactly when this was disabled, but I used to get the Intellisense inline suggests without any special configuration. i.e. I'm in a single javascript file, I declare a function that has an unused locally scoped variable, and Intellisense underlines it.

This no longer happens and I'm not seeing an obvious way to reenable this? If I used globals that weren't defined, it also used to prompt to allow downloading of the typings file (e.g. for node), but that's also stopped.

@MrSkinny we move to a unified JavaScript / TypeScript language service to better support JS. However this requires some more configuration which is documented here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript

We are also working on bringing back the prompting to download typings files.

Regarding the underlines unused: yes the new language service warns about unused locales. This can be disabled in a jsocnfig.json file.

I'm either doing something wrong or there are a lot of missing intellisense markers that used to come up. From that link you provided, it doesn't appear any setup is necessary, only recommended. I tried adding the sample jsconfig.json that just sets an ES6 target and excludes node_modules, but I'm not getting things like $ being undefined even if there's no jquery project / global var declared, etc.

For example:

@MrSkinny now I see. This is a know issue with the new JS language server and is tracked in this TS issue: microsoft/TypeScript#6802.

OK good to know it's being worked on! Thanks.
