Cannot find module error in cjs/loader if '$' is alias key

[NicolasNarvaez]

I had this in mi .babelrc plugins entry, i can confirm that other config entries dont change the output:

["module-resolver", {
      "root": ["."],
      "alias": {
        "~": ".",
        "$": "./models",
        "@": "./views",
        "&": "./lib",
        "public": "./public",
      }
    }],

Wich, on @babel/node (7.0) execution, throws this error stack, and my module-resolver version is 3.1.1. I marked first_require_usage_filepath as the file path on wich a require statement is first used, wich is let path = require('path'), [... multiline let] , and private_path as mi project folder.

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:583
    throw err;
    ^
