Issue with "nested" types paths in the vite.config.ts

[orangecoloured]

I'm using bpampuch/pdfmake to generate a pdf on build stage. Everything works well, but for the typings. Types for pdfmake have to be installed separately and the schema type can be imported from pdfmake/interfaces.

So, like this:

import { type TDocumentDefinitions } from 'pdfmake/interfaces';

It fails on run. No matter, dev or build. The error is

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/node_modules/pdfmake/interfaces' imported from /vite.config.ts.timestamp-1704738142211-cc0da6dccf247.mjs

I tried to manually export the type from the index file in types package and it works. So the issue here is that it tries to get the type using the wrong path. Instead of @types/pdfmake/ it goes to pdfmake/. Weird issue. Using vite in other project I didn't face this.

I solved this by doing this:
type TDocumentDefinitions = Parameters<pdfmake['createPdfKitDocument']>[0];

But can this be fixed by updating some config so it uses correct path?
