Module resolves differently in spec file vs component file












1















I have a weird issue going on with how my modules are being resolved in a component.ts file versus an adjacent spec.ts file I have for that component.



So consider the following path entry I have in my tsconfig.json situated at the root of my project folder:



"@acme/core": [ "../acme/src" ]


As can be seen, this mapping is to a local version of my acme module I already have on disk.



So in a component ts file where I use a service exported from this module I have



import { MyService } from '@acme/core'


And when I hover over the module reference in my IDE (VS Code) it shows its being correctly picked up from my local acme project on disk.



However when I try doing the same for a spec.ts file where I import my service in the same way, it references it from my node_modules folder where its installed by default from an npm install (from a private repo)



Im wondering why the spec.ts file is not resolving the module in the same way from the root level tsconfig.json file.



I want my spec file to resolve my local project module so I can test some local changes I am making, the same as I am doing in my component ts file.



What could be going wrong here?



Thanks
