Cannot update to TypeScript v4.5.x due to zerollup issue

[j-d-carmichael]

4.5.x results in a ts build error:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'impliedNodeFormat' of undefined

The issue is narrowed down to this:
zerkalica/zerollup#37

There is a PR on it, but it is not being merged in by the maintainer:
zerkalica/zerollup#38

The PR didn't appear to work after a few attempts of tsconfig and package json configs.

The package.json has pegged ts to ~4.3.5 for now until the fix is out

zerkalica/zerollup#37 (comment) resolves it by just patching ts-transform-paths after install.

short term fix until the merge goes in - wouldnt suggest bringing it into main trunk, but should unblock the update.

the PR is a month old, doesn't seem like it's moving along too quick.

[j-d-carmichael]

Someone has published a new version on npm containing the fix: zerkalica/zerollup#38

If the author doesn't accept this PR we might want to consider switching to this or replacing zerollup with an alternative path resolver

[p-mcgowan]

would definitely just look into ts-config-paths more heavily. seems like a solid option and has a lot of usage, very common in other projects.

this has been resolved a long time ago
