Describe the bug

Currently trying to follow the example specified in the documentation to mock a GraphQL query. However, I ran into the following error when I try access the mesh after building it and starting the application. Things to note:

• The mesh builds correctly
• I am able to start the mesh
• However when I access the mesh it fails with The following error

/Users/****/src/gateway/dist/apps/graphql-mesh/webpack:/nodejs-express-template/.mesh/index.ts:16882
      return Promise.reject(new Error(`Cannot find module '${relativeModuleId}'.`));
                            ^
Error: Cannot find module 'mocks/userMocks.ts'.

It seems that mesh cannot find the module defined in the root directory ./mocks/userMocks.ts

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a mesh with the following mock configuration in the ./.meshrc

#... redacted

plugins:
  - mock:
      mocks:
        - apply: Query.user.events
          custom: './mocks/userMocks.ts#events'

2. Create a mock file in the location ./mocks/userMocks.ts

export default {
  events: [
    {
      id: '1',
      title: 'Test Event',
    },
    {
      id: '2',
      title: 'Test Event 2',
    },
  ],
}

3. Run mesh build
4. Run mesh start
5. Access the mesh endpoint localhost:4000/graphql

Expected behavior

1. The mock file should be found as expected

Environment:

• OS: Mac OSX Ventura 13.6
• "@graphql-mesh/cli": "^0.88.1",
• "@graphql-mesh/graphql": "^0.96.0",
• "@graphql-mesh/plugin-hive": "^0.96.5",
• "@graphql-mesh/plugin-mock": "^0.96.4",
• "@graphql-mesh/transform-filter-schema": "^0.96.0",
• "@graphql-mesh/transform-hoist-field": "^0.96.4",
• "@graphql-mesh/transform-prefix": "^0.96.0",
• "@graphql-mesh/transform-rename": "^0.96.0",
• NodeJS: 18.17.1

Additional context

• We are running our mesh as graphql handler from within a nestjs controller however I tried to run this without nestjs and got the same error

We're experiencing the same issue, also when using the initializeStore functionality.
