With my current installation, as well as a fresh copy of the 3.0.0 release .zip, I receive the error Cannot find module '~/util/Container' upon startup. Below are complete logs from yarn install through yarn start. The file dist/src/util/Container.js exists relative to the package's root path.

hmm... seems to maybe be a windows related issue? this should not say 0 paths in 0 files

discord-soundbot@main build
tsc -p tsconfig.json && tsconfig-replace-paths -p tsconfig.json

Replaced 0 paths in 0 files

Nowadays, there are some other tools to do exactly what i was trying to do with this hack. maybe i can see to replace it and fix this issue for all platforms 👍

I... there are so many issues with all this path stuff and module resolution in typescript<>node that i either dont understand or dont want to understand tbh. there's some real insane shit like this as well which i'm not gonna do

i only ever see things like this in the javascript ecosystem lmao

compilerOptions.paths should just work... but it doesn't and they dont want it to lmao

anyway, i replaced tsconfig-replace-paths with module-alias which should hopefully work, and at the very least save me a headache.

i'm tinkering around with a whole bunch of stuff, so i'm not even sure if it will work right now. but i'll verify over the next few days. feel free to also give it a spin 🤙
