Vite: Transitive dependencies are not resolved

[realityfilter]

Describe the bug Apps using libraries which are using other libraries are not resolved.

To Reproduce A detailed bug report is filed for library vite-tsconfig-paths: https://github.com/aleclarson/vite-tsconfig-paths/issues/47

Demo repository: https://github.com/realityfilter/bug-transitive-deps

Expected behavior nx serve app will successfully serve the app

In the meantime we are resolving the dependencies manually:

const { readFileSync } = require('fs');
const { join } = require('path');

const calculateAlias = (rootPath) => {
    const tsConfigFile = join(rootPath, 'tsconfig.base.json');
    const tsConfig = JSON.parse(readFileSync(tsConfigFile).toString());

    const alias = {};
    Object.keys(tsConfig.compilerOptions.paths).forEach((key) => {
        alias[key] = join(rootPath, tsConfig.compilerOptions.paths[key][0]);
    });

    return alias;
};

const workspaceAliases = () => {
    const aliases: { [find: string]: string } = calculateAlias(rootDir);
    return sources = Object.keys(aliases).map((key) => ({ find: key, replacement: aliases[key] }));
};

export default defineConfig({
    resolve: {
        alias: [...workspaceAliases()],
    },
});

@realityfilter I saw your comment on the Bug report. You got it working with Nx I assume? The tsconfig.base.json is the default here so changig it could be hard ^^'

[realityfilter]

• We are still having a symlink to tsconfig.base.json because of an older, unrelated bug.
• Setting the loose option of vite-tsconfig-paths together with the symlink solved this issue.
• We need our own vite.config.ts because of vue. So no problem for us.

But with the current nx setup transitive dependencies do not work out of the box, unfortunately.

I'll take a look at that later. Maybe it's possible to make it configurable on their side so we can set it to tsconfig.base.json

@realityfilter fighting this in another way right now. If my idea works hopefully it's done tomorrow

I ran into this as well and have posted how I resolved it based on the notes in this thread and elsewhere in the following issue: https://github.com/aleclarson/vite-tsconfig-paths/issues/12#issuecomment-1081160667
