I have run the following:
$ npm install flow-bin
$ yarn global add flow-typed
$ flow-typed install
Which correctly populates ./flow-typed/npm/ with definitions, some are valid and some are stubs.
But these type definitions for libraries are not showing up in VSCode (with the official flowtype module installed, flowtype.flow-for-vscode—everything coming from the libraries show as typed with any on mouse hover), and running the flow checker from the command line returns no errors, even if I deliberately mis-use a library, such as:
const express = require('express');
express.chicken();
All of the sections in my ./flowconfig file are empty.
I have also tried adding my own definitions to the ./flow-typed/ directory (not the npm subdir) to no avail.
Does anyone have suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong and how to fix it?
Seems to have fixed itself when I restarted my laptop.
