Takes 30 seconds. Cannot find package.

After a delay of about 30 seconds, I get a message saying 'no tag found for word .... '. I have tried this with various packages. When I follow the prompts it inserts the import statement properly.
I installed Universal ctags using both the instructions which were given and using Snap. The only difference is that with Snap, I also get an error saying that gutentags failed.

This issue still hasn't been resolved, unfortunately.
Did you try any of the Performance tips? I'm assuming it takes so long for you because your node_modules are indexed.
On the other side, if there is a match, even after 30 seconds you should get something. Can you open up your ctags file and verify that the thing you are trying to import exists?

Thanks for your help. I did do this. However, I still can't get it to work, unfortunately.
The installation instructions suggest that you just need to install ctags and gutentags. I found that I needed to manually generate a ctags file because gutentags failed to do so. Ctags generated an endless stream of disk activity and error messages. However, I still couldn't get the import to work.
I used the ctags-universal snap as a short-cut. Perhaps it works if you compile the code from source, as suggested. However, at this stage, ctags seems to be more trouble than it's worth.

Did you try installing https://snapcraft.io/universal-ctags ?
I did. I actually tried a couple of different installations of ctags.
I'm not sure what's the problem, but it seems it's related only to ctags. Once you manage to run ctags -R . in your project and get a tags file that looks correct and not too big, you should be good to go.
Thanks. I've done that, but my experience has been either that the ctags file is gigantic and imports don't work or that it's been a reasonable size, but imports still don't work. I'll have another go: it would be great to get this working!
