Add Yarn PnP module resolution support by GGomez99 · Pull Request #63919 · microsoft/TypeScript

See original PR: microsoft/typescript-go#1966
Git history has been lost as replaying all commits would have generated a huge amount of unnecessary conflicts

Co-authored with gun-yu (@gun-yu), EJ (@ejc3) and Valentin MELUSSON (@valentinmelusson), original commits were lost during the move from the old repo

Motivation

This PR adds Plug'n'Play support natively to Typescript Go, following this issue: #63769
It has been reviewed and supported by Maël Nison (@arcanis), the lead maintainer of Yarn, and the original author of Yarn PnP.

Datadog has a frontend monorepo using yarn with over 6k packages, and seeing how TS Strada struggles with our current scaling, we decided to invest time in adding a native Yarn PnP support for Typescript Go.
This PnP implementation is being actively used by all engineers at Datadog, including in IDEs, by agents, and it's currently being beta-tested in CI with a custom lage setup.

Changes

It's based on the main changes from the original yarn patch (99f3e13) that the community has been maintaining for years throughout Typescript Strada updates, except that we implemented the official PnP specification so it doesn't depend on third-party code.

Implemented features:

PnP VFS that handles virtual folders and zip files seamlessly, with caching and fallback to the original vfs if pnp is not available
Add PnP API and manifest handling, following the yarn PnP specification
Initialize the PnP API every time a Host is initialized for both build and LSP modes
Add PnP support when resolving modules in internal/module/resolver.go
Add PnP support for auto-imports and completion at internal/modulespecifiers/specifiers.go
Add PnP support for root types at internal/core/compileroptions.go
Handle zip paths when going to implementation with the LSP
Update the baseline testing framework to handle PnP when needed
PnP manifest auto-refresh by watching .pnp.cjs changes

Tests

Basic PnP setup
Types from transitive dependencies
Root types loading from PnP dependencies
Completion and autoimports

Ports the Yarn Plug'n'Play (PnP) support developed on guyllian.gomez/yarn-pnp in typescript-go into this repo's layout, adding a pnp resolver and vfs overlay so tsc/lsp can resolve modules through .pnp.cjs/.pnp.data.json manifests without node_modules. - internal/pnp: parses PnP manifests and resolves package/dependency locations - internal/vfs/pnpvfs: read-through vfs.FS overlay that exposes zip-packed dependencies (zip:/path/to.zip/inner/path) as regular files - module resolver, autoimport, and project/session wiring to plug the PnP resolver and vfs into the existing module resolution and LSP pipelines - new compiler/fourslash test fixtures and baselines under tsc/testdata covering PnP resolution scenarios - packages/vscode-typescript/src/client.ts: register the "zip" URI scheme in the LSP client's documentSelector so the extension attaches to files served from zip-packed PnP dependencies Ported and squashed from the original branch history to reconcile with divergent upstream refactors (module rename to github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/tsc, auto-import infrastructure rewrite) that landed in this repo's main before this port. Original work also includes contributions from valentinmelusson (fix package IDs for Yarn PnP submodule imports) and gun-yu (add pnp error handling and test).
