alias(configPath()) is not working with baseUrl = src

Originally posted by @MassMessage in https://github.com/oklas/react-app-rewire-alias/issues/2

this is not working for me:

module.exports = function override(config)
{
    return alias(configPaths('./tsconfig.paths.json'))(config);
}

I get the error:

[0] Module not found: Can't resolve '@Shared/ChannelName' in 'C:\Users\jckj33\Desktop\merge\Newton\src\components'

but this is working:

module.exports = function override(config)
{
    config.resolve = config.resolve || {};
    config.resolve.alias = config.resolve.alias || {};

    Object.assign(config.resolve.alias, {
        '@Shared': path.resolve(__dirname, 'src/shared')
    });

    return config
};

tsconfig.paths.json is defined like this:

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

What am I missing?

I just found out alias(configPaths()) isn't considering the baseUrl in tsconfig.paths.jsona file when generating the paths so give the paths in the orginal poster, it is generating:

    alias: {
      'react-native': 'react-native-web',
       '@Shared': 'C:\\Users\\jckj33\\Desktop\\merge\\Newton\\shared'
     }

instead of:

    alias: {
       'react-native': 'react-native-web',
       '@Shared': 'C:\\Users\\jckj33\\Desktop\\merge\\Newton\\src\\shared'
     }

note it's missing the src folder as defined in the baseUrl in the tsconfig.paths.json file. Any workaround for this to keep using alias(configPaths())

Are there any workaround for this issue? is this considered a bug?

Thank you for full description. Yesterday I spent some time on this question, I hope there will be more time and information today.

This is actually a duplicate of #10, so let us move there. I will add a reference to this issue to avoid missing of some details.

Released in react-app-alias-v2.2.0 :tada:. Check for Using baseUrl section in readme. Feel free to reopen or create new if any. Thanks.
