[Feature] PnPify (Typescript) for VSCode workspaces

• I’d be willing to implement this feature
• This feature can already be implemented through a plugin

Describe the user story

I develop a big system that includes many Git repos. All repos use Typescript and they’re added to one VSCode workspace. I very often do refactoring on all repos together. Howerer, PnPify always installed in projects folders. So I can’t refactor all repos together because PnPify can’t process all .pnp.js at once.

Describe the solution you’d like

I want that it would be possible to install PnPify on the VSCode workspace level and it processes all .pnp.js at once.

Describe the drawbacks of your solution

I think that all projects in a workspace should use PnP, I.e. I guess it’s impossible to mix projects with and without PnP.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

There aren’t alternatives that can satisfy it.

I’m having issues with this as well. I’m not sure if this is necessarily a yarn/berry issue or something that vscode is incapable of doing at the moment. My use case is that I have a single workspace for a backend that has multiple services, each with their own repo.

You should be able to repro this by creating a new workspace with multiple folders:

• Open a new vscode window
• cmd-palette: >Workspaces: Add Folder to Workspace
  • add 2 projects that use yarn2/pnp with the vscode sdk
• Checking the .vscode/settings.json you should see:
  • this causes modules to not resolve

There is a related issue over at microsoft/vscode#108866 that didn’t gain enough thumbs unfortunately.

I also just tracked down my same issue to this.

Is it correct to say that in order to use yarn 2 pnp workspaces you must create a different vscode workspace per directory?

Also, this user says they have created a forked version of vscode’s native tsserver to support his use case: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/108866#issuecomment-753240892 but I haven’t tried it personally.
