Directory structure

🤔 Expected Behavior

When running parcel index.html, it should resolve the absolute paths and run the app. Since my baseUrl is set to src in tsconfig.json, then it should resolve the path as src/config/firebase

😯 Current Behavior

Parcel displays an error in which it’s unable to resolve the path. register/src/index.tsx:5:7: Cannot resolve dependency 'config/firebase'

💁 Possible Solution

Not sure what changes occurred in the 1.10.0 release, but the app was working fine using 1.9.4. Remove my absolute path and use a relative path.

🔦 Context

It affects me as i’m no longer able to build my app. Here’s link to source code https://github.com/iRoachie/register

💻 Code Sample

// index.tsx
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import 'antd/dist/antd.css';

import 'config/firebase';

import Shell from './containers/Shell';

ReactDOM.render(<Shell />, document.getElementById('root'));
