Steps to reproduce

Create a Vue 3 project with TypeScript and @ alias configured in tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["./src/*"]
    }
  }
}

Create two .vue files:

src/components/TestComponent.vue
src/App.vue that imports TestComponent using import TestComponent from '@/components/TestComponent.vue'

Move TestComponent.vue to a different folder (e.g., src/other/TestComponent.vue)
Observe that the import in App.vue is NOT updated and remains @/components/TestComponent.vue

What is expected?

The import path should automatically update to @/other/TestComponent.vue when the file is moved, just like it does for .ts files and just like relative imports (./ ../) work correctly.

What is actually happening?

.vue files with @ alias imports do NOT update when files are moved
.ts files with @ alias imports DO update correctly
.vue files with relative imports (./ ../) DO update correctly
Only .vue files with absolute @ alias imports fail to update

The "Update imports" dialog does not appear at all when moving .vue files that use @ alias imports.

No response

Any additional comments?

The JS/TS update imports settings are already enabled:

javascript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled: always
typescript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled: always

vue.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled is no longer recognised by VScode.

OMG

This was an issue I was hoping would be opened by somebody. I would like this extra functionality also, a lot of projects I work with use that @ alias, so LSP support would be greatly appreciated.

A huge frustration is that go-to referencing as a result is unusable for imports using this alias.

There's new behaviour now on move.

Moved component from (the component importing the original is also in this directory)
/src/components/folder/folder/component.vue
to
/src/components/ui

The import path updated from
'./component.vue'
to
'../../ui/component.vue/index.js'

The issue is no longer just with @bsolute import paths - now with regular. Final path has a malformed '/index.js' segment concatenated onto the .vue file extension.
