    "lib": "~/app/utilities",
    "hooks": "~/app/hooks"
  },
  "iconLibrary": "lucide"
}

I have this for my components.json and whenever I install a new component the import for cn is always import { cn } from "~/lib/utils"

Affected component/components

CLI

How to reproduce

1. Install shadcn
2. Modify components.json with a new utils alias
3. Install any component (i.e.: pnpm dlx shadcn@latest add checkbox)
4. Open the checkbox and see that the config wasn't respected

I'm having the same problem with turbopack design-system example. Could be a pnpm issue?

My components.json aliases:

"aliases": {
        "components": "@acme/ui/components",
        "utils": "@acme/ui/lib/utils",
        "hooks": "@acme/ui/hooks",
        "lib": "@acme/ui/lib",
        "ui": "@acme/ui/components"
    },

It's not an pnpm issue. I've been experiencing this problem in my repo turborepo-shadcn-ui too.

The issue is within the transform-import.ts file.
It seems like that when transforming non-registry imports like @/lib/utils it uses this snippet to replace the alias:

ui/packages/shadcn/src/utils/transformers/transform-import.ts

Lines 60 to 65 in ddf761e

	// Not a registry import.
	if (!moduleSpecifier.startsWith("@/registry/")) {
	// We fix the alias and return.
	const alias = config.aliases.components.split("/")[0]
	return moduleSpecifier.replace(/^@\//, `${alias}/`)
	}

So in this case the "utils" alias is not being used.

This PR should fix the issue without breaking other configs.
@shadcn this is quite important.
