💻 Code

Given the following files:

folder/file1.ts

console.log('file1');

export const foo = 42;

different-folder/file2.ts

new URL('../folder/file1.js', import.meta.url);
import('../folder/file1.js');

export const bar = 5;

1. Create a new directory sub-folder/ in root
2. Move different-folder/ into sub-folder/ so that the layout becomes sub-folder/different-folder/file2.ts
3. When prompted for "Update imports for 'different-folder'?" click "Yes"

🙁 Actual behavior

sub-folder/different-folder/file2.ts

new URL('../folder/file1.js', import.meta.url);
import('../../folder/file1.js');

export const bar = 5;

The same is true if folder/file1.js is moved to a different location.

🙂 Expected behavior

Similar to the dynamic import, a file reference based on import.meta.url that points to a different TypeScript file should correctly be renamed accordingly.

sub-folder/different-folder/file2.ts

new URL('../../folder/file1.js', import.meta.url);
import('../../folder/file1.js');

export const bar = 5;

VS Code supports the standard dynamic import to handle file renaming. Since import.meta.url and URL are a standard way of resolving files, I would expect VS Code to natively support it as well. For example, Parcel compatibility is implemented in https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/5473, is implemented in Webpack 5 https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/11075 and is scheduled for implementation in ESBuild https://github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/312#issuecomment-800730525

Beginne mit der verknüpften Workbench-Reproduktion unter Verwendung von new URL(<file>, import.meta.url) und vergleiche sie mit dem im Bericht beschriebenen Verhalten bei der Aktualisierung dynamischer Importe. Verfolge den VS Code-Import-Umbenennungspfad, der die Verschiebeoperation verarbeitet. Erledigt bedeutet, dass beim Verschieben einer der referenzierten Dateien die relative URL-Referenz auf dasselbe Ziel aktualisiert wird, entsprechend dynamischen Importen.
