Support tsconfig paths

[mjgp2]

It would be great to support tsconfig "paths" in the cli commands, perhaps using this?

I'm not sure exactly what was meant by the original issue, but I am running into a wall with tsconfig-paths and oclif-dev manifest

I depend on tsconfig-paths for the typescript build which works fine in dev but when I go to create a manifest, there is no way that I can find to add tsconfig-paths to the node proc that ends up importing things to determine the manifest.

Tried a few likely options:

 oclif-dev manifest -r tsconfig-paths/register
 ›   Error: Unexpected argument: tsconfig-paths/register
 ›   See more help with --help

oclif-dev manifest -- -r tsconfig-paths/register
 ›   Error: Unexpected argument: tsconfig-paths/register
 ›   See more help with --help

Can't think of a reasonable workaround here without modifying oclif-dev

You can call the command directly w/ node, and so provide the register that way:

node -r tsconfig-paths/register node_modules/.bin/oclif-dev

  "scripts": {
    "oclif-dev": "node -r tsconfig-paths/register node_modules/.bin/oclif-dev",
    "prepack": "rm -rf lib && ttsc -b && npm run oclif-dev manifest && oclif-dev readme",
    "postpack": "rm -f oclif.manifest.json",
    "test": "nyc --extension .ts mocha --forbid-only \"test/**/*.test.ts\"",
    "version": "oclif-dev readme && git add README.md"
  },

That's an "ok" solution, but it'd be nice if oclif-dev supported handling this natively. (this actually applies to all .bin commands that have a shebang for node, as the whole point of the shebang is to automatically "append" the command for you)

You can "fix" it by adding this to bin/run in oclif-dev:

const tsConfig = require('../../../../tsconfig.json');
const tsConfigPaths = require('tsconfig-paths');

tsConfigPaths.register({
  baseUrl: './',
  paths: tsConfig.compilerOptions.paths
});

you can do that Calling oclif-dev by js scripts :

const command = require('@oclif/command')
require('ts-node').register({ project })
require('tsconfig-paths').register()
const oclifDevCliPath =  './node_modules/@oclif/dev-cli'
async function main() {
  const manifestResult = await command.run(['manifest'],oclifDevCliPath)
  const readmeResult = await command.run(['readme'], oclifDevCliPath)
}
