Visual Studio 2013 with:

  • Resharper 8.2
  • Node.js tools
  • Web essentials

From what I gather from the node.js tools site, I should be getting intellisense.

However when editing javascript in a node.js project I get strange intellisense which suggests all sort of irrelevant stuff. It doesn't have any useful intellisense for node, and does things like autocompletes require as required which is extremely annoying as I have to hit escape to stop it from changing it, I sometimes miss it and this causes a runtime error.

It gives me intellisense for my own code within the project, but very little else.

I read this, with some hope:

https://nodejstools.codeplex.com/workitem/562

However, if I disable Resharper intellisense for js files, rather than it deferring to Visual Studio/node.js tools I get no intellisense at all. I'm doing this at the moment because nothing is better than having the require -> required issue.

Have been unable to find anything useful in Google or on StackOverflow.

If you disable ReSharper's code completion, you also need to make sure Visual Studio's is enabled. Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> Node.js and look for the "Statement completion" check boxes.

    It wasn't quite there, but it put me on the right track - it was under Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> JavaScript -> Auto List Members. Thanks! – nrkn Apr 23 '14 at 22:36
