lsp-mode with ts-ls for Typescript: Organize Imports

[wol81]

I am currently giving lsp-mode a try for editing my typescript-project. I've installed it, it starts up, gives me syntax highlighting, information about errors, and so on.

But I seem to be unable to get any kind of organizing imports. When executing lsp-organize-imports, I get "source.organizeImports action not available".

I found #3317, and as advised there, executed (lsp-make-interactive-code-action organize-imports "source.organizeImports.ts-ls"). However, then I get "source.organizeImports.ts-ls action not available".

Given the contents of lsp-log (see below) I would assume that ts-ls is present. Reading the docs of lsp-mode and specifically ts-ls, I don't see any specific hints regarding organizing imports.

Questions:

• is organizing imports supported at all for typescript based on https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/lsp-typescript/ ?
• if yes, how can I make it running?
• do I miss something I have to install also?
• or is using some other language server the better option, although ts-ls is marked as "Recommended"?

Versions:

emacs 28.2
lsp-mode 20240130.417

Contents of lsp-log:

Command "typescript-language-server --stdio" is present on the path.
Command "deno lsp" is not present on the path.
Command "semgrep lsp" is not present on the path.
Command "typescript-language-server --stdio" is present on the path.
Command "deno lsp" is not present on the path.
Command "semgrep lsp" is not present on the path.
Found the following clients for /home/wpausch/tisgraph-ts/src/tisgraph/sketch/base/shape/AbstractIdLessShape.ts: (server-id ts-ls, priority -2)
The following clients were selected based on priority: (server-id ts-ls, priority -2)

Additionally:

• When asked first for the workspace path, I entered a symlink to the ts part of my project - is entering a symlink as workspace path a problem?
• Some time later when opening some file within the project, I was asked again, now the suggestion was the actual path without symlink, I accepted that
• Then, suddendly, (maybe) lsp-organize-imports worked, but in a wrong way, altering a lot of imports in various files to something like "import { AbstractShape } from "@/tisgraph/sketch/base/shape/AbstractShape.ts~";" --> why is it recognizing emacs backup files, and why does it at the import with suffix?
• As a related note, is lsp-organize-imports supposed to work only on the current file (my original expectation), or is it actually supposed to touch my whole project?
• After exiting emacs and starting again, I again have the situation described above, lsp-organize-imports not working.

Does this project have the claim of being usable out of the box, or should I have the expectation that I have to learn a lot about its inner details before being able to do productive work? As I unfortunately saved the above changes, I now have to correct my imports a second time manually...

Or do I miss something very basic?

I just noticed about lsp-start-plain, and then I have lsp-organize-imports.

Thus probably I indeed seem to have caused it myself.

Sorry for the noise, I seem to need to inspect things more deeply on my side.
