field compilerOptions.paths in **tsconfig.json** does not work

[rempas]

Hello! I am trying to use the field compilerOptions.paths in my tsconfig.json file, following the documentation but I cannot seem to be able to make it work.

So, I have the following settings re-maps:

 paths: {
    "@lib/*": ["src/lib/*"]
 },

My source structure (sowing only TS files) is the following:

project dir (root)
  | index.ts
  | src
     | lib
        | test_remaps.ts

I try to import the file "test_rempas.ts" inside "index.ts", using import { test_fn } from '@lib/test_remaps.ts' and it tells me that the module '@lib/test_remaps.ts' cannot be found from index.ts.

Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
