Config file search only happens under projectRootPath

[mhegazy]

• Create folder A, with tsconfig.json and a single file a.ts
• Open VScode using code ./A
• try to open a file from a different project, say src/compiler/checker.ts

Expected behavior:

the tsconfig.json for src/compiler/checker.ts is found and is loaded correctly

Actual behavior:

the tsconfig.json is not loaded, resulting in errors for missing types.

Isnt this by design... Project root is suppose to be the directory till which we can lookup the config file which vscode sets as the directory of opened folder..

[mhegazy]

yes and no. we should be looking in the projectRoot first. but if it fails, we should go back to the normal lookup process.
