Seeing unknown typescript error in JSConfig.json file

Question

I added a jsconfig.json to my vscode project and for some reason I am getting a typescript error that states "dotenv/types not found".

I cannot for the life of me figure out why I am getting this error. I even tried adding dotenv to my package.json and it did not resolve my issue.

This is a standard project created with create-react-app, and I added the jsconfig.json to allow absolute imports

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "src"
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

Exception:

File '/Users/path/to/file/node_modules/dotenv/types' not found.

If you're using Visual Studio Code, just disable "Typescript validation" in the settings.

The error should go away.
