No inputs were found on jsconfig.json with basic config and project

[danielo515]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Create a basic JS project
2. Use .mjs files so you can use module system with node
3. Add a tsconfig file with the following basic configuration

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "commonjs",
    "target": "es6"
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "**/node_modules/*"]
}

See the error

No inputs were found in config file '/.../js-file-mover/jsconfig.json'. Specified 'include' paths were '["**/*"]' and 'exclude' paths were '["node_modules","**/node_modules/*"]'.ts

I also tried to add an include path with no luck:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "es2015",
    "checkJs": true,
    "target": "es6"
  },
  "include": ["./src/**/*.mjs"],
  "exclude": ["node_modules", "**/node_modules/*"]
}

Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Find in Folder not working if the folder is excluded in setting (#68970)

[danielo515]

It is working now after renaming all the .mjs files to js and setting type as module "type":"module" on package.json.
Seems to be because TS doesn't understand mjs files, they don't exist for TS therefore doesn't exist for VSC

[mjbvz]

Mjs support is tracked upstream by microsoft/TypeScript#27957
