Referring nodemodules package point towards typescript dist instead

[kii-dot]

I'm using the twilio api, within the index.js of twilio api, it calls var obsolete = require('./base/obsolete');

However when i run tsc with tsmodule-alias, it shows this error

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:985
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/Keith/.ideas/inreel/inreel-backend/dist/base/obsolete'

it seems like its throwing because it's redirecting to dist of the generated typescript folder.

How can I help resolve this issue?

So I realize that its because of the paths. If you're using paths that are used in other nodemodules packages, it will cause this problem.

After going through some trial and error, the easiest way to resolve this is to add an @ in front of the paths.

So it works after compiling, but it doesnt work when we run yarn test
