  • OS Version: Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5

Steps to Reproduce:

I have an Angular project, and just 1 of the files don't have a proper suggestion support in it.
Same happens when I create a file via plus sign from the side bar.
VSCode doesn't suggest "obvious(necessary)" things, quite the contrary happens:
it suggests everything else what's available, but not what I need and not what really exists in the project.

Also, when I try to import environment object with 'src/environments/environment',
it doesn't seem to know about src folder(project_name/src).
Although it already works this way for all the other files in the project.

Cache cleaning && insiders build didn't help out, no errors in debug console and I couldn't find any useful tsserver logs.
Although I can send if necessary.
Having 3.9.7 TS

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported Angular project-reference setup in VS Code, focusing on auto-import suggestions before the referenced symbol has been imported elsewhere. The issue names no repository files or tests; done means imports from the referenced project, including src/environments/environment, are suggested consistently in newly created files.
