No Inputs were found in config file Error

See original GitHub issue

Hi there!

The VS Code 1.28.0 on Mac shows the following error innode_modules/protractor/tsconfig.json:

No inputs were found in config file
 '~/projects/myproject/node_modules/protractor/tsconfig.json'. 

Specified 'include' paths were '["**/*"]' and 'exclude' paths were
'["built","node_modules","testapp","website","scripts","exampleTypescript","spec/**/*"]'.

Very annoying and makes the proble window show up all the time. Is it something that can be fixed?

Node Version: 10.11
Protractor Version: 5.4.1
Angular Version: 6
Browser(s): Chrome
Operating System and Version: Mac High Sierra

Restarting VSCode fixed this error like a magic in my case.
