I've upgraded the vs code to the latest version ,and the Salsa was enabled.
Now, the code intellisense does not work without an jsconfig.json file. but version 0.10.6 worked well.

Copied from original issue: microsoft/vscode#3017

Same issues. I hope Salsa can works without a jsconfig.json. How about contain a default jsconfig.json without manual creating one?

In my case Intellisense (even with a jsconfig.json) only works for modules that have been required but not for modules that have been imported using ES6 import:

You can find my sample project here: https://github.com/nilshartmann/vsctest
My environment:

• Visual Studio Code Version 0.10.8 with Salsa preview enabled
• No extensions
• MacOS
• TypeScript installed locally (1.9.0-dev.20160218)
• jsconfig.json (tried several more variants all without success):

{    
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6"
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

Just noticed: Importing a module from my own project that uses ES6 export seems to work.

I'm not sure if this is the same problem or to better open a new Issue?

If you open a loose file, then we have no project context, so we're not pulling in the node.d.ts. That would explain the require("fs'"); not working in the loose file scenario above.

For the ES6 import case, this may be similar/related to #7076. I'll take a look at these together.

Verified the behavior is as expected in 'master' currently. Note that above for the statement import http from "http", this is a default import, you'll need to set "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true for this to work, else instead use import * as http from "http" to import the CommonJS module as a namespace.

Still not working. I have the following. And even if I set "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true still doesn't show any Intellisense.
