Templates ignored after saving tsconfig.json #1923

🐞 bug report

Is this a regression?

Can't recall when I didn't have to randomly restart ALS, sadly been having this problem for a year at least - only now figured out how to reproduce it.

Description

After saving/modifying tsconfig.json - ALS recognizes a change and intellisense stops working in angular html templates.

Bug Type

What does this bug affect

  • Angular Language Service VSCode extension
  • Angular Language Service server

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Checkout https://github.com/kimdah3/testing-als-vscode or ng new
  2. Open VS Code with the extension
  3. Check that intellisense is working in the template files
  4. Save tsconfig.json
  5. Intellisense stops working
  6. Manually restarting with Restart Angular Language server makes the templates work again

Expected behavior

Intellisense in template files should still work after a change in tsconfig.json. I believe VS Code's built in ts server touches tsconfig in the background which causes the templates intellisense to stop working randomly (it took a lot of time to find out why this happend).
