vs code cannot find module '@angular/core' or any other modules

Question

my project was generated with [Angular CLI] version 1.2.6.

I can compile the project and it works fine, but I always get error in vs code telling me cannot find mo

Answer 1

I had the same issue, was strange because project compiled and ran without errors. I updated npm and then reinstalled the packages

npm update
npm install

then vs code stop saying that.

Answer 2

I uninstalled all extension I had already installed, and it turns out JavaScript and TypeScript IntelliSense extension from below address caused the issue. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sourcegraph.javascript-typescript

the point here is when you visit the website you see there is a yellow label, telling you it is in preview release, but when you browse in vs extensions, you don't see that label.

Answer 3

From my point of view the CLI you are using and the libraries are mismatched. The ionic CLI version 1 cannot build libraries for ionic CLI version 4. The best solution is to try upgrade your CLI version. You can otherwise use nvm which allows you to run multiple node versions on the same O.S. This can help you use different ionic CLI versions across different projects depending on the requirements.

Check out nvm @: Their official windows repo. There is also a MAC and Linux version.

Answer 4

the fix for me was to run

npm install

and then unload,then reload the project in visual studio.

Answer 5

I was facing the same issue , there could be two reasons for this-

1. Your src base folder might not been declared, to resolve this go to tsconfig.json and add the base url as "src"--

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src",
    "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "downlevelIteration": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "importHelpers": true,
    "target": "es2015",
    "lib": [
      "es2018",
      "dom"
    ]
  },
  "angularCompilerOptions": {
    "fullTemplateTypeCheck": true,
    "strictInjectionParameters": true
  }
}

2. you might have problem in npm , To resolve this , open your command window and run-npm install

I tried a lot of stuff the guys informed here, without success. After, I just realized I was using the Deno Support for VSCode extension. I uninstalled it and a restart was required. After restart the problem was solved.
