Types for custom commands added by wdio-vscode-service

[openscript]

How to get the types for custom commands like getWorkbench() working?

The following tsconfig.json is applied:

{
	"include": ["./spec/**/*.e2e.test.ts", "./wdio.conf.ts"],
	"compilerOptions": {
		"module": "ESNext",
		"types": [
			"node",
			"@wdio/globals",
			"wdio-vscode-service",
			"@wdio/mocha-framework",
			"expect-webdriverio"
		],
		"target": "es2022",
		"moduleResolution": "node",
		"esModuleInterop": true,
		"experimentalDecorators": true
	}
}

[openscript]

If I add import {} from "wdio-vscode-service" where I use getWorkbench() or if I use "wdio-vscode-service/service" in the tsconfig.json types VSCode can resolve the types. Quite weird.. something with type declaration merging doesn't seem to work like it should.

I'm on VSCode:

@openscript can you compare your setup with the one that is being created when running npm init wdio@latest ./foobar and selecting "VS Code Extension Testing"? I just bootstrapped a new project and the types were resolved as expected.

That works for me too.

Now I'm suspecting pnpm which is used in the project with the issue.

[openscript]

That's the project: opral/monorepo#1795

I checked out the repo and it is indeed weird why types aren't resolved. Even if I add /// <reference types="wdio-vscode-service" /> at the top instead of import {} from "wdio-vscode-service" it works. I also tried to copy the dependency into the node_modules directory to remove the chance it could have to do with pnpm linking. The setup looks fine to me.

Any luck @openscript? I saw opral/monorepo#1795 was merged. 🎉
