* in lhs of tsconfig paths don't get processed correctly

I love the idea of this project and have some ideas for further contributions!

But I can’t seem to make it work. I’m not sure why, but NONE of my dependencies are found, specifically every import hits the included not-to-unresolvable rule. My project is 100% typescript.

It fails for:

1. modules in node_modules
2. local, relative dependencies
3. inter-module dependencies (like uf/foo/bar imports uf/base/xhr,

All of these should be resolvable using the paths settings in tsconfig.json

Expected Behavior

I expect it to find these dependencies.

Current Behavior

All imports are marked invalid: code like this:

import superagent from 'superagent';
import Swagger from 'swagger-client';
import { UFApiClient } from 'uf-api';
import { UFApiClient as UFManagementApiClient } from 'uf-api-management';
import warning from 'warning';

results in errors like this:

  error not-to-unresolvable: uf/base/xhr.ts → superagent
  error not-to-unresolvable: uf/base/xhr.ts → swagger-client
  error not-to-unresolvable: uf/base/xhr.ts → uf-api
  error not-to-unresolvable: uf/base/xhr.ts → uf-api-management
  error not-to-unresolvable: uf/base/xhr.ts → warning

Possible Solution

No idea!

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Our project is quite large, our setup is as follows:

1. package.json has "name": "uf"
2. source code is in the directory uf
3. There are other directories here: uf-api and uf-api-management - I realize these should be separate packages but they aren’t right now.
4. tsconfig has paths:

    "paths": {
      "*": ["types/*"],
      "integration/*": ["integration/*"],
      "uf-api-management": ["uf-api-management"],
      "uf-api-management/*": ["uf-api-management/*"],
      "uf-api": ["uf-api"],
      "uf-api/*": ["uf-api/*"],
      "uf/*": ["uf/*"]
    },

Context

Just trying it by installing globally, and also installing directly into the project.

Your Environment

trying it out now! …and, it worked perfectly, thanks!

(the reason for the seemingly duplicate entries was issues importing from both 'uf-api' as well as 'uf-api/foo/bar' - I might be able to remove them…)

@alecf version 4.13.2 that includes the fix for this issue is on npm since a few minutes. Thanks again for raising the issue and your detailed & complete reports - it definitely helped speed up fixing this issue!
