Visual Studio 2019 Javascript - 如何引用应用程序根相对路径？

Question

Per the old Visual Studio 2015 docs, we could use "~" to reference the application root path:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/visualstudio/visual-studio-2015/ide/javascript-intellisense?view=vs-2015&redirectedfrom=MSDN#ReferenceDirectives

So we could use a reference path like this:
/// <reference path='~/my/common/helpers/file.js' />

In any other JS file (lets say ~/some/other/path/file2.js), and it would always resolve regardless of where it was, relatively. Now in VS2019 (and I believe also in VS2017), this doesn't work, and warns:

TS6053... not found.

These reference paths still work if you remove the "~" and fix the path to be relative, but then it's unique/relative to the individual file (which means every file might be different - we can't just copy-paste throughout). For this project, we're still using plain old JS, no modules or TS. Does anyone know a workaround to use an application root relative path in VS2019?

I think VS2017 and VS2019 does not support ~ application-root-relative path so far. And I am not sure whether it is an issue or the Team has forgotten it because I got the same behavior as you described.

I have reported it to our DC Forum .And you can vote it and add any comments if I did not describe it in detail. More votes will help get more attention from Microsoft .

Since the process takes a long time, so far, as a suggestion, you have to use the full path of the js file like this on VS2019:

/// <reference path='C:\xxx\my\common\helpers\file.js' />
