TypeScript aliases not recognized when tsconfig.json file is in Cypress folder

Current behavior

When trying to import an Enum alias from a Typescript file within the Cypress folder as described in the docs, the webpack cannot resolve the alias, even though it is defined in the tsconfig.json file

Desired behavior

Properly import aliases from tsconfig.json files in the Cypress folder without needing to place tsconfig.json with at root project directory.

Test code to reproduce

@jennifer-shehane I see you’ve added the existing workaround label, could you point to that workaround?

Is there a solution when there is a tsconfig that exists outside the cypress folder (in root), I want to create a few component tests, but blocked by this issue. I have tried to use the ts-loader, but to no avail

the folder stricture is root cypress/ -all the cypress goodies including a tsconfig file that extends the root tsconfig file -tsconfig.json (where the paths exist)
