A bug

What is the current behavior?

Dynamic import fails to resolve:

Error: Unable to resolve module ./node_modules/react-native-url-polyfill/auto from .../packages/mobile/.:

None of these files exist:
  * node_modules/react-native-url-polyfill/auto(.android.js|.native.js|.js|.android.jsx|.native.jsx|.jsx|.android.json|.native.json|.json|.android.ts|.native.ts|.ts|.android.tsx|.native.tsx|.tsx)
  * node_modules/react-native-url-polyfill/auto/index(.android.js|.native.js|.js|.android.jsx|.native.jsx|.jsx|.android.json|.native.json|.json|.android.ts|.native.ts|.ts|.android.tsx|.native.tsx|.tsx)

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce and a minimal repository on GitHub that we can yarn install and yarn test.

1. Initialize a React Native project
2. Place it within a yarn v4 monorepo as a workspace
3. Install react-native-url-polyfill in the react native workspace
   • Configure watchFolders to include ../../: watchFolders: [path.resolve(__dirname, "../../")],
4. Ensure react-native-url-polyfill exists at ../../node_modules/react-native-url-polyfill
5. Add dynamic import import("react-native-url-polyfill/auto")

I'm sorry, I do not have time to create a reproducible example repo right now.

What is the expected behavior?

Dynamic import should resolve successfully.

Please provide your exact Metro configuration and mention your Metro, node, yarn/npm version and operating system.
