Co-worker is missing auto-imports

Co-worker pulling changes from our nuxt project and is having errors because he is missing auto-imports in his imports.d.ts file in his .nuxt folder on his end that he is supposed to have despite having already run the command "npm i" , how to fix and make us have the same necessary auto imports?

Hi @BaxSTAR. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- It sounds like your co-worker is experiencing an issue with auto-imports in your Nuxt project. This is a common issue that can happen when the Nuxt project's type definitions aren't properly generated. Here's how to fix it: How to fix missing auto-imports 1. Run Nuxt preparation command: Your co-worker should run the nuxi prepare command to generate the necessary type definitions: 
   npx nuxi prepare
   
   npx nuxi prepare
As mentioned in the Nuxt documentation on composables, you need to run nuxi prepare, nuxi dev, or nuxi build to let Nuxt generate the types properly. 2. Start the development server: Alternatively, simply starting the development server can also generate the necessary types: 
   npm run dev
   
   npm run dev
3. Check for TypeScript configuration issues: Make sure your tsconfig.json properly extends the Nuxt-generated configuration: 
   {
     "extends": "./.nuxt/tsconfig.json"
   }
   
   {
     "extends": "./.nuxt/tsconfig.json"
   }
Don't add custom include directives that might interfere with Nuxt's auto-imports. 4. Verify dependency paths resolution: A recent fix in Nuxt (PR #29069) addressed issues with resolving relative import paths in types for dependencies. Make sure you're using an up-to-date version of Nuxt. Why this happens The auto-imports in Nuxt are generated at build/dev time. Under the hood, Nuxt generates the file .nuxt/imports.d.ts to declare the types for auto-imports. If this file isn't properly generated or is out of sync, TypeScript won't recognize the auto-imported functions and components. Additional troubleshooting If the above steps don't resolve the issue: 1. Clear cache and node_modules: 
   rm -rf node_modules .nuxt
   npm i
   npx nuxi prepare
   
   rm -rf node_modules .nuxt
   npm i
   npx nuxi prepare
2. Check for partial auto-import disabling: Make sure your nuxt.config.ts doesn't have settings that disable auto-imports: 
   // Check if these settings exist and remove them if needed
   imports: {
     autoImport: false,
     // or
     scan: false
   }
   
   // Check if these settings exist and remove them if needed
   imports: {
     autoImport: false,
     // or
     scan: false
   }
3. Restart IDE: Sometimes VS Code's TypeScript server needs to be restarted to pick up the new type definitions. By following these steps, your co-worker should have the same auto-imports working as the rest of the team. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
