vscode: Auto Import not working (Typescript ) after latest update

Issue Type: Bug

Autocomplete imports have not worked for me since latest update. Specifically the list of suggestions that pops up when I’m typing, which normally I press “Tab” to select and automatically add the import statement at the top of the file. The suggestions are still there, but it no longer adds the import statement at the top of the file.

@mjbvz Do you imply that it somehow functions in 1.60.0 for you? For me and others in this ticket I believe this is the case: 1.60.0 SBKINtmuS8 1.59.1 IdLc7hH6mM

To clarify, Quick Fix import action functions on 1.60.0, it’s autocomplete that does not.

I used the excellent ”extension bisect” to determine that lit-plugin caused the issue for me. You can probably find your problematic extension the same way

for me disabling lit-plugin extension and reloading vscode re enabled auto imports

Same here

That said, this is an example with https://github.com/chakra-ui/chakra-ui, other packages are still auto importing in 1.60.1, like https://github.com/react-hook-form/react-hook-form

@viczam yes, just downloaded the prior version and reinstalled
