Path intellisense not working for typescript short imports defined at compilerOptions paths

[MiguelLattuada]

• VSCode Version: 1.11.1
• OS Version: Mac OS El Capitan (10.11.6)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Define some paths as the image shows.
   

2. Write an import statement and you get no intellisense for files inside the folder.
   

Expected behavior:

• Get the same intellisense as when you made file search.

Does your tsconfig.json include a baseUrl?

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "baseUrl": ".",
        "paths": {
            "models/*": ["app/src/*"]
        }
    },
}

Not configuring the baseUrlcauses paths not to work

[MiguelLattuada]

It does.

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "models/*": [ "app/models/*" ],
      "interfaces/*": [ "app/interfaces/*" ],
      "services/*": [ "app/services/*" ]
    },
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "target": "ES6",
    "lib": [
      "es2016",
      "dom"
    ]
  }
}

I've run into the same issue on Mac. The weird part is, it's completely intermittent - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, with exactly the same repo.

can't get this too work either, especially for .vue extensions

I believe this bug is now being tracked by microsoft/TypeScript#19113
