VSCode doesn't open Files imported with absolute PATH












1















I have a React Application. I am importing some components, and I want to click ALT+File name in the import in order to navigate to it.(Linux Ubuntu). Mapped it to Alt instead of CTRL.



In files with relative paths like so:



import ComponentRelative from '../../somewhere';


It works just fine. I Alt+Click on the ComponentRelataive and it takes me to the that file.



Now on absolute paths, that doesn't work. I am assuming it is because VSCode doesn't start in the root of my system. I could be wrong though. To give an example:



import ComponentAbsolute from 'common/components/ComponentAbsolute';


This doesn't work. I tried searching for something in VSCode docs, but haven't found anything similar in the settings. Has anyone seen this problem, and know how to solve it. Thanks!!
