[bug] type display doesn't work correctly with deno.json imports

[Lenni009]

Let's say we're importing parse from https://deno.land/std/flags/mod.ts.
If we do that at the top of the file with import { parse } from <url>, everything works fine. If I do the parse(Deno.args), and hover over it, I get the correct interface displayed:

If I import it via deno.json, and then just do import { parse } from 'flags', it has the any type.

deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "flags": "https://deno.land/[email protected]/flags/mod.ts",
  }
}

Just copying the URL to the main TS file instead of the json immediately brings back the type.

Expected:
Always display the proper type information, like it does when importing directly from the URL, without import map.

@dsherret could you take a look at this problem?

Looks fixed

Actually looking at this it seems the flags import is unresolved. So the LSP is probably not detecting the import map. Maybe your deno.json is not in the root directory? If so, that's tracked in #14245 and denoland/vscode_deno#787.

Just tested again, and it worked as expected. Now that you mention it, the import really does look unresolved. I wasn't very experienced back when I opened this issue 😅
