Config File for Testcafe-Tests

[glsp-bot]

I am trying to create a config file for the testcases, that stores the basePort of the web application, like discussed here. I tried to follow this example for how to do it. However it does not work this way because the config is not found.

When running the tests the following error message shows:

```Cannot find module './config.json'. Consider using '--resolveJsonModule' to import module with '.json' extension```

I added the option to a tsconfig.json in the same directoy. However it seems that this compiler option only works with --esModuleInterop, which leads to errors in the test code which can be fixed with two other compiler options. Therefore my newly created tsconfig.ts looks like this:

```{
  'extends': '../../configs/base.tsconfig.json',
  'compilerOptions': {
    'resolveJsonModule': true,
    'esModuleInterop': true,
    'noImplicitAny': false,
    'strictNullChecks': false
  }
}```

But this is still not working (the editor shows no errors, but when running the code the error message above still shows) and i can´t seem to find any useful information anymore by googling. Is there an obvious mistake im making?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help. It did not work with the import * as config from './config.json' but i managed to get it running with require('./config.json').
