jsconfig.json gives ts errors

Question

I am having jsconfig.json in my root directory using Nuxt.js project. And I am having an error:

File '/home/mike/Documents/nuxt/node_modules/dotenv/types' not found.
  The file is in the program because:
    Root file specified for compilation

Actually 5 errors in a first line of jsconfig.json:

I don't even use typescript and I didn't set any typescript options while creating Nuxt.js project

jsconfig.json content:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "~/*": ["./*"],
      "@/*": ["./*"],
      "~~/*": ["./*"],
      "@@/*": ["./*"]
    }
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules", ".nuxt", "dist"]
}

I don't understand where they come from. How do I get rid of this errors? There's no option quick fix so I can't ignore errors for entire file

Solution 1

After trying several solutions, I have just added "exclude": ["node_modules"] and restarted VScode. The error went away.

Solution 2

I ran into this and just exiting and relaunching VSCode (from the icon) seemed to fix it.

I'd originally started via code . so I'm thinking perhaps the instance with the error had picked up a weird env var from my terminal.

Solution 3

Just reload VSCode by typing ctrl + shift + p then type reload window and it should work.

Solution 4

Try to install and rebuild project, Hope this will help,

 npm install --save @types/dotenv

Solution 5

In my case the problem was that the project is in a subfolder inside monorepo.

So the solution was changing it into add ./ before node_modules:

"exclude": ["./node_modules", ".nuxt", "dist"],
