Unable to locate custom transformer during gql compile

I have read this article https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/plugins/authoring#authoring-custom-graphql-transformers--directives but no mention on how to use a custom transformer.

I have tried graphql-default-value-transformer, with the following setting in my amplify/backend/api/xx/transform.conf.json

{
    "Version": 5,
    "ElasticsearchWarning": true,
    "transformers": [
        "graphql-default-value-transformer"
    ]
}

But I got this error when I run amplify push

Cannot find module 'xxxxx/~/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/graphql-default-value-transformer'

(I have installed the package both locally and globally.)

How to fix the issue

I found this is an issue of the upstream lib global-dirs. So I created an issue at here. https://github.com/sindresorhus/global-dirs/issues/21 Amplify team should upgrade the global-dirs once the issue has been fixed.

Thanks for digging into that! Marking this as a dependency issue
