bug: Deno SDK doesn't fully understand the way of installing packages

[FleetAdmiralJakob]

Summary

Steps to trigger the problem:

1. Install a package with Deno e.g. (deno install npm:pdf.js-extract)
2. Import this package in one of your files

Actual Behavior:

The Deno SDK doesn't find the globally installed package

Expected Behavior:

No error since it is installed and works fine running `deno run dev``

deno.json:

{
  "tasks": {
    "dev": "deno run --watch --allow-read main.ts"
  },
  "imports": {
    "pdf.js-extract": "npm:pdf.js-extract@^0.2.1"
  }
}

Zed Version and System Specs

Zed: v0.171.5 (Zed)

Seems like this issue is coming from the default TypeScript Language server.

https://zed.dev/docs/languages/deno

To use the Deno Language Server with TypeScript and TSX files, you will likely wish to to disable the default language servers and enable deno

Ah ok, maybe that works. Can I do it on a per-project basis, because I have other non-Deno projects?

Can I do it on a per-project basis

I think so, in the project settings: zed > Settings > Open Project Settings

Ok, I will try and keep you updated

Awesome! Thank you! It works! The only problem left is that it's telling me that I haven't installed @types/node but I have:

deno: NPM package "@types/node" is not installed or doesn't exist.

That's my deno.json

{
  "tasks": {
    "dev": "deno run --watch --allow-read --env-file --allow-env --allow-ffi --allow-sys --allow-net main.ts"
  },
  "imports": {
    "@openai/openai": "jsr:@openai/openai@^4.82.0",
    "@types/node": "npm:@types/node@^22.13.0",
    "pdf-img-convert": "npm:pdf-img-convert@^2.0.0",
    "sharp": "npm:sharp@^0.33.5",
    "zod": "npm:zod@^3.24.1"
  },
  "nodeModulesDir": "auto"
}
