NTVS 1.2 Beta: IntelliSense For Locally Required Files needs VS 2015 Update 3 RTM+

[mjbvz]

In NTVS 1.2 Beta on VS 2015 Update 2, IntelliSense does not work for locally required files:

var my_file = require('./my_local_file');

my_file.
// No IntelliSense for `my_file` :(

This issue was originally identified and tracked by #817. It is a Visual Studio / TypeScript bug, that is fixed by (the currently unreleased) VS 2015 Update 3 RTM.

Workaround

As a workaround, try adding a tsconfig.json to the root of your NTVS project with these options:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "allowJs": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "noEmit": true
  },
  "exclude": ["node_modules"]
}

And right click Save As this file into C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TypeScript to replace the existing typescriptServices.js in that directory.
