NONE of the above-given answers works for me.
My original goal was to fix the sometimes CONSTANT COMPILING of my project with VSCode.
I tried many, many ways, but NOTHING was working -- the project just WON'T COMPILIE!
Finally I found out what the problem here is:
I cloned the project from my company's repository, and all the code from there HAS TO go exactly with the versions of dependencies when the existing part of the project was coded.
In the end, I deleted the previously cloned project AGAIN (quite a few times), and cloned AGAIN (also a few times), and DID NOTHING BUT RAN "npm install", and everything started to work.
The lesson I learned here is that:
Sometimes you'll make the situation worse when you try to fix some problems (the one I had was the CONSTANT COMPILING of my project).
But it doesn't mean we cannot try to fix the problems. We can. But when everything becomes a mess, we'd better go with the original code.
Fortunately the CONSTANT COMPILING of my project happens only once a while, not all the time. It's not fixed, but I have to bear with it, otherwise my project won't even compile.
