VS Code “Go To Definition” does not exist - Javascript

Question

I am using VScode version 1.57.

The issue is that it Simply cant not navigate to the definition, "Go To definition" not working.

as you can see in an image it does not exists.

What I have tried:

• clearing settings.json
• deleting all extentions
• resinstallign VS Code
• changing Key F12 to Shift + `

simply need to navigate to definition, I searched through documentation of VSCode it must read Javascrit files, I even added jsx and js next to ts, tsx but in this simple example below it still does not work.

Answer 1

Your import is importing the entire ./test.js file as the variable sum thus there is no single method definition as you are expecting.

If you want sum to be your actual function called sum you need to change your import statement to:

import { sum } from './test'
