What's Wrong?
Description
Files inside the src/ directory do not appear in the @ file autocomplete suggestions in the VSCode extension. The entire src/ directory tree seems invisible to the file suggestion feature.
Steps to Reproduce
- Have a Python project with a
src/layout (e.g.,src/mypackage/module.py) - In the Claude Code VSCode extension input, type
@src - No suggestions appear
- Type the full path like
@src/grace/cli/sync_dynamodb_to_lancedb.py - Shows "No files found"
Expected Behavior
Files in src/ should appear in autocomplete suggestions, just like files in other directories (e.g., docs/, terraform/).
Actual Behavior
- Typing
@srcshows no suggestions - Typing full paths to files in
src/shows "No files found" - Files in other directories like
docs/andterraform/appear correctly - The files exist, are readable, and are not in
.gitignore
Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.0.76
- VSCode version: 1.107.1
- OS: macOS (Darwin 25.2.0)
Additional Context
- No
.claudeignorefile exists - No deny rules in
.claude/settings.local.json - The
src/directory is not in.gitignore - Files can be read normally by Claude using the Read tool
- The file is even shown as attached via IDE context (see screenshot)
Workaround
Files can still be accessed by:
- Opening the file in the editor (IDE context attaches it automatically)
- Mentioning the file path in the message without
@
What Should Happen?
Files in the src/ directory should appear in @ file autocomplete suggestions, just like files in other directories (e.g., docs/, tests/, terraform/).
