Bug: When "Open Workspace from File" eslint complains that it cannot find imports, when "Open from Folder" the same code, no issues

[GeorgeWL]

Bit of an odd error, seems to be related to if the .eslintrc has a parserOptions.project, as when I change from

BROKEN

.eslintrc with relative paths

folders renamed but same structure

"parserOptions": {
    "ecmaVersion": 2020,
    "sourceType": "module",
    "ecmaFeatures": {
      "jsx": true,
      "generators": true,
      "experimentalObjectRestSpread": true
    },
    // 'project' required for the no-floating-promises rule,
    "project": [
      "./a/tsconfig.json",
      "./b/tsconfig.json",
      "./c/tsconfig.json"
    ]
  },

WORKS

.eslintrc with glob path

folders renamed but same structure

"parserOptions": {
    "ecmaVersion": 2020,
    "sourceType": "module",
    "ecmaFeatures": {
      "jsx": true,
      "generators": true,
      "experimentalObjectRestSpread": true
    },
    // 'project' required for the no-floating-promises rule,
    "project": [
      "**/tsconfig.json"
    ]
  },

then I no longer see the error, but I'm not sure if that's a bit of a hacky workaround?

vscode Workspace file

repo-name.code-workspace file

folders renamed but same structure

{
  "folders": [
    {
      "name": "root folder",
      "path": ".."
    },
    {
      "name": "A",
      "path": "../a"
    },
    {
      "name": "B",
      "path": "../b"
    },
    {
      "name": "C",
      "path": "../c"
    },
    {
      "name": "cypress",
      "path": "../cypress"
    }
  ],
  "settings": {
    "jest.disabledWorkspaceFolders": [
      "root folder",
      "cypress"
    ],
  },
}

To my knowledge typescript eslint doesn't support glob patterns for projects. If you think they should be supported please file an issue against the typescript eslint repository.

that's the thing, it only works with the globs, but that feels like a hack.

Maybe I wasn't clear, the first case doesn't work, the second case does.

the specific error it gives is that if I use "Open Workspace from File" with the relative paths config linked in the issue, then entering any of the JS or TS files in the monorepo gives this error:

Parsing error: Cannot read file 'FILEPATH\a\FOLDER\tsconfig.json'

Even /a/

Sorry, I misunderstood the issue.

This is really strange since I use relative paths all over my repositories. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-eslint/blob/dbaeumer/stale-cuckoo-gold/client/.eslintrc.json#L1

Can you please provide me with a GitHub repository I can clone with a minimal setup that repros what you are seeing.

[GeorgeWL]

No worries about the misunderstanding 🙂 I didn't phrase it particularly well, so it was easy to get confused

my only thought, maybe it's that we include the root folder in there, which includes all the other workspaces, I'm going to see locally if that's true then if it's still an issue I'll get you a minimal setup

edit: seems to not have an effect, I'll get you a repro repo
