Problem & expected behavior (under 200 words)

I have a monorepo that contains various packages. tsx cannot resolve a package's dependencies on another local package.

For example:

- @org/a
  - foo.ts
- @org/b
  - node_modules (contains symlink for @org/a)
  - bar.ts (which imports from @org/a)
  - bar.test.ts (tests some function in bar.ts)

The error that ts-mocha throws is ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION. If you remove the import from @org/a in bar.ts the same tests runs without issues.

Bugs are expected to be fixed by those affected by it

• I'm interested in working on this issue

Compensating engineering work will speed up resolution and support the project

• I'm willing to offer $10 for financial support

Just a side note: linking is not working either. I am not sure if these two are relevant though: "@appName/common": "link:libs/common",
