symlinking foundry.js and vscode

Is this something you were able to do with vscode? I'm trying right now with both WSL2 symlinks and bog standard windows links but not getting any results...

@lordzeel @stax2912 Same question ^ Trying to write up an update to the existing pin which says to copy the file. I'm only actually getting hints in vscode when the foundry.js file is open while it's linked. Hmmm, actually. Adding a jsconfig.json file to the root fixed this:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "es2020",
    "target": "es2020"
  },
}

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "es2020",
    "target": "es2020"
  },
}

Works fine with windows sym links for me.

FWIW Linux symlinks definitely don't work. The Windows filesystem has to see them if Foundry is being run as a Windows executable Windows symlinks should work Are you perchance running the node server inside WSL?

You may need to have Foundry.js open

It works for me on Linux with it closed This is not needed for me

I've noticed it working closed, but also sometimes not. It may have to do with how much memory VS is using or some other factor.

vscode is using like 400mb

That's what the Jsconfig fixes for me @skyronandromeda try putting this file into your project to see if that fixes your issue of foundry having to be open
