CLI not recognizing absolute path imports?

[jphinning]

I'm trying to run a seed with the CLI with the following code:

import { Seeder, SeederFactoryManager } from 'typeorm-extension';
import { DataSource } from 'typeorm';
import { Users } from 'src/modules/entities/users.entity';

export default class UserSeeder implements Seeder {
  public async run(
    dataSource: DataSource,
    factoryManager: SeederFactoryManager,
  ): Promise<void> {
    const repository = dataSource.getRepository(Users);
    await repository.insert([
      {
        firstName: 'Caleb',
        lastName: 'Barrows',
        email: '[email protected]',
        password: 'test',
      },
    ]);
}

But I'm getting this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'src/modules/entities/users.entity'
Require stack:
- ~/src/database/seeds/user.seeder.ts

It seems to me that the CLI can't recognize absolute imports. How can I make this work without having to convert all my entities into relative imports?

I'm trying to run the seeds by executing this script in my package.json:

"seed": "ts-node ./node_modules/typeorm-extension/dist/cli/index.js seed -- -d src/database/data-source.ts"

I have the same problem with nestjs. This is not a solution, but for now I'm running the JS compiled file instead TS files. This is my executing command in my package file:

ts-node ./node_modules/typeorm-extension/dist/cli/index.js -d ./dist/config/seeder.js seed

Does your seeder.js file contain the data-source?
The -d <path> should point to the data-source https://github.com/tada5hi/typeorm-extension#options

It's working properly. The problem is I call from seeder some function from the base code. The base code use absolute path like @/services/createPost.ts. That value @ (defined in tsconfig.ts) is unknown for the seeder library.
