Are you requesting a feature or reporting a bug?

What is your Test Scenario?

• Simple test to open webpage and login

• The IP where the page is located should be provided through environment variables.which retrived in the script using "process" and "require".

• The tests should run inside a Docker container

• The tests are written with typescript

What is the Current behavior?

ERROR Cannot prepare tests due to an error.

Error: TypeScript compilation failed.

What is the Expected behavior?

Typescript should execute,
The same script was running fine with testcafe@1.4.3 docker image

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

Create a simple test that uses environment variables and is written in typescript
Run: docker run -v /home/.../src/main/client/:/tests -it testcafe/testcafe firefox /tests/**/*testcafe.ts
See the error...

Provide the test code and the tested page URL (if applicable)

import { Selector } from "testcafe";
var config = require('./loginDetails.json');

fixture("Getting Started");

test('test', async t => {
console.log(${process.env.HOSTNAME});
});

loginDetails.json file:

{
"URL": {
"qaUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:3001"
}
}
Your website URL (or attach your complete example):
