TypeScript variable name autocompletion doesn't work without a semicolon

[jhaemin]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.79.0
• OS Version: macOS Sonoma 14.0 Beta 1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new text file
2. Set language mode to TypeScript
3. Declare a variable without a semicolon at the end of the line
4. Autocompletion of the variable doesn't appear

But with semicolon, it works.

Expected behavior:

The name value should be listed in the suggestion.

Notes:

• Perfectly fine on VSCode 1.78.2
• https://vscode.dev also has this symptom

Looks like duplicate of microsoft/TypeScript#54654

@IllusionMH Thanks for the reference. So it looks like a TypeScript bug, not VSCode.

Thanks for creating this issue! We figured it's covering the same as another one we already have. Thus, we closed this one as a duplicate. You can search for similar existing issues. See also our issue reporting guidelines.

Happy Coding!

@zardoy since you're aware of the breakage can you suggest a workaround for it (since its IDE-only bug)? I don't want neither downgrade vscode or TypeScript version (yes I know I can manually install different TS version globally), but I enjoy JSX tag linked editing and move to file feature! Also I doesn't seem to be fixed in nightly...

Also I doesn't seem to be fixed in nightly

When microsoft/TypeScript#54656 gets merged the fix will be available in TS Nightly Extension

can you suggest a workaround

You obviously asking for the extension, so I added this workaround in TypeScript Essential Plugins after I saw your message (adds top-suggestion just after variable declaration). I'm too lazy to publish a dedicated extension for only one thing, for me its just much easier to put everything int one place...

@mjbvz Why latest VS Code 1.80 doesn't include TypeScript 5.1.6 which is latest stable version and contains fix for this issue? I see VS Code 1.80 is still with TypeScript 5.1.3 as 1.79 was, could we expect 1.80.1 with 5.1.6 TS?
