Is there an existing issue for this?

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: Chrome
• Local OS: Arch Latest

• code-server --version: 4.99.3 c36b2d3 with Code 1.99.3

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a dependency (project A) to a project (project B) , or rebuild a project that is a symlink dependency in yarn.
2. Type the name of an export from the project A in project B and hover over it, or do organize imports.

Expected

Intellisense and/or organize imports should pick up the new import.

Actual

Nothing, I get Cannot find name 'X'

Logs

I am not sure what lines are relevant. On startup I immediately get thousands and thousands of lines of logs.

Are you accessing code-server over a secure context?

• I am using a secure context.

Notes

Everyone online says that restarting the typescript server should fix this but it does not fix it for me no matter how many times I restart. I have to do the import manually, and then after that it will work automatically when i do automatic imports (usually). If I don't do this the change will as far as I can tell never get picked up.

This is probably a VS Code bug, are you able to reproduce in Codespaces? We just wrap VS Code for the web with a few patches. It could be possible our patches broke something, but I do not believe we patch anything related to this.
