jsconfig.json: Property allowJs is not allowed

See original GitHub issue

What are you trying to achieve?

Put jsconfig.json from https://codecept.io/basics#intellisense into your project’s root:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": true,
  }
}

No error should be reported in VSCode.

What do you get instead?

Visual Studio Code complains

VSCode documentation says:

Tip: jsconfig.json is a descendant of tsconfig.json, which is a configuration file for TypeScript. jsconfig.json is tsconfig.json with “allowJs” attribute set to true.

I tested that it’s enough to have the empty file jsconfig.json to get IntelliSense working.

So I was wondering why type checking was not working for me, I ended up at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/jsconfig, and found this option checkJs | Enable type checking on JavaScript files..

I changed allowJs to checkJs.

  "compilerOptions": {
    "checkJs": true
  },

Now I believe it technically works, but it’s throwing me errors for Playwright helpers instead.

But I saw this issue and perhaps types for playwright is not yet supported. https://github.com/codeceptjs/CodeceptJS/issues/2455

Anyway try changing to checkJs see if it works.

Same here, not sure if we can safely ignore this?
