Overview

This iteration we enabled smart copy/pasting that also updates js/ts imports on paste. This was previously gated behind an experimental setting For this test plan item, test the edits this feature generates along with the UX for how this feature is presented to users

Testing

Basic flow

• Try copy and pasting between two TS or JS files that are in the same project

  When you copy code that contains imported symbols, confirm that pasting it shows a paste widget. Selecting paste with imports in the paste widget should add the import

• Try copying and pasting different types of code across different files. Confirm that reasonable edits are generated when using paste with imports

Configuration

• Confirm you can use typescript.updateImportsOnPaste.enabled / javascript.updateImportsOnPaste.enabled to fully disable the feature

  With the feature disabled you should not see the paste widget when pasting

• You can use settings to make paste with imports the default:

  • Edit the editor.pasteAs.preferences setting
  • Confirm you get intellisense for the various paste types. Specifically you should see text.updateImports.jsts listed
  • Add either text.updateImports.jsts or just text.updateImports to the preferences list
  • Now when pasting, paste with imports should be the default but you can use the paste widget to switch back to normal pasting

Known limitations

• Smart copy paste currently only works within text editors in the same editor window

@mjbvz I tested on windows and the only feedback that I have is that I wonder if we should detect if the import already exists and prevent a duplicated import, but not sure if that is out of scope.
Also, looks like the import got inserted in between a comment.

Thanks @osortega. This bug should track that: microsoft/TypeScript#60419
