Vscode: Auto import changed to dynamic import in JS ES6+

[tobiastimm]

• VSCode Version: 1.28.1
• OS Version: macOS Mojave

When I try to let vscode auto-import a js module, it imports the module in dynamic import syntax.

For example Query from the react-apollo module.

Before:

import { Query } from 'react-apollo

Now:

import('react-apollo').Query

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a .js file
2. Let vscode auto-import a js module

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

This issue is getting on my nerve! Is there a way to disabled it in the setting?

Confirmed as occurring in Windows 10 with version 1.28.1 and agree with @tiaaaa123 This is horrible behavior and needs some method to tell VSCode to use ES6 imports again.

Is there any temporary solution while it's being fixed? I have to import everything manually now. Very frustrating

I have the same problem here, after the last update (versions 1.28 and 1.28.1) it stopped working
I tried using some extensions to do the job, but it conflicts with vscode import

I am using the OS Ubuntu 16.04

Also have this problem.

VSCode 1.28.0

I use auto-imports constantly so this is a real workflow breaker.

Already fixed in insiders and we're looking into backporting a fix to a 1.28.2
