Image imports that use typescript alias returns undefined

[ritchieanesco]

Given I have the following typescript configuration.

  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/images*": ["./src/images/*"]
    },
    ...
  },

And jest configuration:

{
  rootDir: "src/",
  moduleDirectories: ["node_modules", "src"],
  moduleFileExtensions: ["svelte", "ts", "js"],
  testPathIgnorePatterns: ["/node_modules/", "/dist/"],
  transform: {
    "^.+\\.svelte$": [
      "svelte-jester",
      {
        preprocess: "./svelte.config.js",
      },
    ],
    "^.+\\.js$": "./babel.config.js",
    "^.+\\.ts$": "ts-jest"
  },
  testEnvironment: "jsdom",
  moduleNameMapper: {
      ".*\\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|eot|otf|webp|svg|ttf|woff|woff2|mp4|webm|wav|mp3|m4a|aac|oga)$": "<rootDir>/file-mock.js"
    },
}

And I import an image in svelte file

<script lang="ts">
  import airplane from "@/images/airplane.png"
</script>

{#if airplane}
  <img src={airplane} />
{/if}

When I run a test to validate an image exists the test fails because image import returns undefined.
However, If I import the image to a typescript file and export it out as part of an object so it can be consumed in the svelte file, then it works.

Any suggestions what this could be?

Do you use Sveltekit/Sapper as well? If so, then you need to add an alias to your sveltekit-config as well.

Am I rright, that all image imports are resolved to file-mock.js?
