Parsing error: File 'tsconfig.json' not found - if project does not contain tsconfig.json in workspace root

I have a project (repo link) that has two separate tsconfig files in non-root folders. When I open this project in VScode, the linter gives this error in every TS file:

Parsing error: File '/project-root/tsconfig.json' not found.

That path indeed does not link to an existing file, since it should look in a specific subdirectory of project-root .

Whenever I open one of the subfolders, the error goes away and the plugin functions as expected.

Possibly related to #691

@joepio I mean running it in the workspace folder. Something like

eslint --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx ./front/src

Have you tried to add the following configuration to tell eslint what your working directories are:

  "eslint.workingDirectories": [
    { "directory": "front", "changeProcessCWD": true },
    { "directory": "server", "changeProcessCWD": true }
  ]

Closing the issue then.
