Describe the Bug

Failed to run typescript webpack-config with custom webpack plugin in Angular 13 from compiled mjs module.

An unhandled exception occurred: Unknown file extension ".ts" for /Users/.../webpack-plugin-use-test/webpack.config.ts

[error] TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts" for /Users/sergej/Projects/local/ng-documentation-test/webpack.config.ts at new NodeError (node:internal/errors:371:5) at Object.file: (node:internal/modules/esm/get_format:72:15) at defaultGetFormat (node:internal/modules/esm/get_format:85:38) at defaultLoad (node:internal/modules/esm/load:13:42) at ESMLoader.load (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:303:26) at ESMLoader.moduleProvider (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:230:58) at new ModuleJob (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:63:26) at ESMLoader.getModuleJob (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:244:11) at async Promise.all (index 0) at async ESMLoader.import (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:281:24)

Minimal Reproduction

1. Create new Angular 13 empty project
2. Compile any Webpack Plugin with Angular 13 ng build project
3. Install compiled module with plugin to initial project
4. Install @angular-builders/custom-webpack
5. Add customWebpackConfig configuration with typescript file *.ts

import {CustomWebpackTestPlugin} from "test-webpack-plugin";

export default {
  plugins: [
    new CustomWebpackTestPlugin(),
  ],
};

6. Run ng serve or ng build

When plugin imported locally from .ts file, there is no error. Every time when .mjs used we have an error: Unknown file extension ".ts"

Could been checked in this project: https://github.com/sergsar/webpack-plugin-use-test

Expected Behavior

Run typescript webpack-config .ts with custom webpack plugin in Angular 13 from .mjs compliled format module

@sergsar Hi, what was the final result here? I'm currently struggling with Angular 13 on this same issue.

@sergsar Hi, what was the final result here? I'm currently struggling with Angular 13 on this same issue.

I've decided to get rid of ng build in compiled module used by webpack and exclusively for it I moved on tsc build I left everything the same in the application and I think the Angular command should fix the problem from 14 version of the framework

@sergsar Okay, well in my case I can't get rid of the ng build process for our application. I'm also trying an empty Angular 14 app to see what happens. Thank you.

You can split your library and move the part that used by webpack config on tsc build and another option to switch webpack config and code from .ts to .mjs in the app and in that case the typings will be lost and that's why I refused it

Just making sure, you did everything according to the docs, correct?

@just-jeb Hi, I have certainly tried, based on your docs, and the npm package here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular-builders/custom-webpack/v/13.1.0.
