I am having this issue as well. Any workarounds?

[leosvelperez]

Thanks for reporting this!

@kylecarhart given the current implementation only resolves relative paths, the only workaround would be to set a relative path to the tsconfig file you're extending from.

I'll work on a fix to support this use case.

Thanks @leosvelperez I can't wait to try it 👏
