🙁 Actual behavior

When you type log VS Code suggests to import log from console despite it being blocklisted in autoImportFileExcludePatterns. See #54135 (comment)

🙂 Expected behavior

The import is not suggested.

Can you try putting console.d.ts instead of console in those globs?

[xixixao]

@andrewbranch using console.d.ts does lead to the expected behavior.

The glob-like patterns work exactly the same as tsconfig include/exclude patterns. This could be better documented, but I think it’s working as intended.
