VSCode errors when refactoring JavaScript to new file

Nobody has claimed this yet.

Type: Bug

I was trying to copy some JavaScript functions to a new file using Refactor. I clicked Move to file and got the following notification:

<semantic> TypeScript Server Error (5.6.2)
Debug Failure. False expression: No interactive refactor arguments available

This happens when I use Move to existing file, not Move to new file.

Start by reproducing Move to existing file in VS Code 1.94 with TypeScript 5.6.2 and inspect the getRefactorEditsToMoveToFile and getEditsForRefactor path named in the stack trace. Compare it with Move to new file and establish a regression test; done means moving selected JavaScript functions no longer reports the interactive refactor arguments error.
