Not found tsconfig.json if open project on parent directory

[netdjw]

Hello,

I run into this issue when I try to change from tslint to ESLint in VSCode with an Angular project.

The project directory structure is this:

|- .git/
|- angular/
|  |- src/
|  `- .eslintrc.json
|- laravel/
`- other-files.txt

If I open VSCode like this, I get some errors on every .ts files with this message:

Parsing error: Cannot read file '/home/djw/code/myproject/tsconfig.json'. eslint

So I need to change the .eslintrc.json file like this:

      "parserOptions": {
        "project": [
          "tsconfig.json",
          "e2e/tsconfig.json"
        ],
        "tsconfigRootDir": "angular/",  // THIS LINE IS ADDED
        "createDefaultProgram": true
      },

Now the VSCode ESLint plugin works fine.

But if I try to run ng lint command, I get an error:

0:0 error Parsing error: Cannot read file 'angular/tsconfig.json'

Any idea how can I fix this issue?

@netdjw I am not very familiar with ng lint. What you can try for VS Code is to set the eslint.workingDirectoies setting to angular to ensure the working directory is setting correctly.

@dbaeumer thanks, I added this code in my project folder to this file: .vscode/settings.json

{
    "eslint.workingDirectories": [
        "angular"
    ]
}

Now the error is gone.
