tsconfig.json is regenerated (wiping out changes) on start script

[thomasmost]

tsconfig.json seems to be regenerated every time I start the dev server

Is this a bug report?

No

What's happening

Every time I run react-app-rewired start (we are using rewired just for hot-reloading), my tsconfig.json file gets regenerated. The documentation here seems to imply that you can modify your tsconfig.json file once it is generated by CRA, so I feel like I must be missing something obvious. How do I add a baseUrl or paths property to my tsconfig.json file?

Thank you!

You can only modify select fields -- we do not support overriding baseUrl and paths.

[thomasmost]

Thanks -- how do you get absolute path imports working with typescript then?

We have a issue tracking this:
