Unresolved functions or methods using CodeceptJS in PhpStorm

Question

I've just followed the CodeceptJS Quickstart and opened first_test.js in the PhpStorm IDE (equivalent to WebStorm, IntelliJ, etc.).

For all the built-in functions, I'm getting "Unresolved function or method …":

I also don't get any autocompletion on I.

I've tried the following.

Looked for a CodeceptJS plugin. Didn't find any.
Enabled codeceptjs/node_modules in Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> JavaScript -> Libraries.
Set JavaScript language version to ECMAScript 6.
Enabled the Node.js Core library.
Restarted PhpStorm.

Please run 'npm install codeceptjs'.

Great, thanks. I find it a bit strange that this makes a difference, considering that I have installed codeceptjs-webdriverio which in turn depends on codeceptjs.

@YngveHøiseth As I understand it's the way how IDE is indexing the node_modules -- it only indexes modules that YOU are required (in your package.json or whatever that file is) and ignores packages (excludes folders) if they are not used directly (e.g. used by other libs internally). This is to avoid polluting completion with most-likely-unneeded-for-you libs/functions (since they may be used only inside that lib). If you need something -- require it directly (make it your direct dependency).

This does not fix the problem. The functions are not imported and phpstorm will still think they are non existant

I had to follow the steps outlined in https://codecept.io/typescript/ to fully enable CodeceptJS in PHPStorm.

Steps

npm install codeceptjs typescript ts-node
Add require('ts-node/register') as first line in my codecept.conf.js file
Create a tsconfig.json in my project root folder
Run npx codeceptjs def to create the default steps.d.ts file

After that, autocompletion worked in my tests :)
