Imports IntelliSense in monorepo works incorrectly

Issue Type: Bug

I have TypeScript monorepo using Lerna. I have packages configured like that:

{
  "name": "@namespace/types",
  "main": "./dist/index.js",
  "source": "./src/index.ts"
}

Now, whenever I try to import something from this package in the other package VSCode proposes only imports like:

import { isNil } from "../../../packages/types/dist"

It used to work correctly and propose imports like:

import { isNil } from "@namespace/types"

I’ve tried to fix it by defining paths in the tsconfig.json and it kinda works but now I have it proposing imports like:

import { isNil } from "@namespace/types/dist"

It stopped working a few weeks ago.

👋 @lukejagodzinski thanks for creating this issue! Did you have any luck with its repro by a chance?

We have a typescript monorepo with a bunch of local packages (packages/xyz a.k.a. @local/xyz). Until a few weeks ago, importing something from neighbour package suggested @local/xyz as the import path, which was great. But more recently the autocompletion changed to ../../xyz/path/to/file. Our tsconfig.json remained untouched for a few weeks, but we did bump typescript itself a few times (shortly after stable / patch releases). I can try git bisect the issue if that helps, but it might take a bit of time.

I’m curious if anyone here managed to fix this or find a around - this is still something we’re seeing here.
