I have a project that looks like this:

In the root tsconfig.json file, I’ve set strictNullCheck: true But in the nested tsconfig.json file under apps/app-not-strict/tsconfig.json I’ve set strictNullCheck: false.

When I build the app with tsc I do not get any errors – as expected, since inside the nested tsconfig.json the strict configuration is relaxed.

However, inside app-not-strict, I get an editor error:

How can I configure vscode to respect the nested tsconfig.json configuration?

I expect vscode to be aligned with build and not show errors if build is passing.

Note: Here is a repo that shows the issue:
