[vscode] Plugin not highlighting in versions >1.3.0

[jessykalycia]

Version(if relevant): Higher than 1.3.0

Expected:

Visual studio code plugin to highlight "Any" variables;

Actual:

Visual studio code plugin is not highlighting "Any" variables in versions > 1.3.0

Note: Settings/Extensions/Type Coverage is checked on to active and is active on the workspace.

I cannot reproduce this.
More information is needed.

[jessykalycia]

Is there any additional configuration needed to highlight the "Any" variables?

Also, what information can I provide to help reproducing easier?

[plantain-00]

No additional configuration.

The VS Code extension works in some projects but not others. I haven't been able to pin down what the important difference between the projects is, but it will either report all the any symbols or just not report anything.

For example, the extension works for me on this project: https://github.com/paulirish/webtreemap-cdt

but it does not report any any types on this project, even when I add them: https://github.com/danvk/literate-ts

@danvk I cannot reproduce your case

I think I found the issue: to get the VS Code extension to work, I also have to install ts-plugin-type-coverage in my project's workspace:

yarn add ts-plugin-type-coverage -D

and then restart VS Code. Note that I'm using my workspace's version of TypeScript:

Does this seem right? Perhaps this could be added to the docs for the extension, or it could be bundled.

[plantain-00]

@danvk ts-plugin-type-coverage is a dependency of the plugin: https://github.com/plantain-00/type-coverage/blob/master/packages/vscode/package.json#L25
It seems not right, but I will add a reference to this in the doc.
