Tests file absolute paths are not being picked up

[eamonnprwalsh]

Absolute paths work fine in non test components

eg

HomePage.tsx

import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
import Feature1 from 'components/common/feature/Feature1';
import HomeFeature from 'components/home/HomeFeature';
import { IHomePage } from './interfaces';

const HomePage = ({ title }: IHomePage) => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h2>{title}</h2>
      <Link to="/results">Go to Results</Link>
      <Feature1 />
      <HomeFeature />
    </div>
  );
};

export default HomePage;

But for some reason they are not getting picked up in test files

eg

//HomePage.test.tsx

import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import { MemoryRouter } from 'react-router-dom';

// THIS GIVES AN ERROR -> Cannot find module 'components/home/HomePage' or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)
import HomePage from 'components/home/HomePage';
import { describe, expect } from 'vitest';

describe('renders HomePage component with a link to Results', () => {
  it('should render the results correctly', () => {
    render(
      <MemoryRouter>
        <HomePage />
      </MemoryRouter>
    );

    const linkElement = screen.getByRole('link', { name: /go to results/i });
    expect(linkElement).toBeTruthy();
    expect(linkElement.getAttribute('href')).toBe('/results');
    expect(screen.getByText('Feature 1')).toBeTruthy();
    expect(screen.getByText('Feature 2')).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

My bad - this line caused it

  "exclude": ["src/**/*.test.tsx", "src/**/*.test.ts"],
