0.14.1 does not find typedoc.js in monorepo setup

[webmaster128]

• I have checked issues with bug label and found no duplicates

Expected Behavior

Upgrading from 0.13.x to 0.14.1 works without changing command line arguments.

Actual Behavior

I get the following error when invoking using 0.14.1:

$ shx rm -rf docs && typedoc --options typedoc.js
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:605
    throw err;
    ^

    at Options.read (/project/node_modules/typedoc/dist/lib/utils/options/options.js:51:14)

To work around this issue, I can use typedoc --options ./typedoc.js, which leads to the expected result.

This issue may occur because I'm in a lerna monorepo setup (see project below)

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Clone https://github.com/iov-one/iov-core
2. git checkout 000f559074ebfb3fc132406f3f5c34b34e5b09f3
3. Upgrade typescript to 3.2 and typedoc to 0.14.1 in the root package.json
4. yarn install
5. yarn docs

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.14.1
• Node.js version: 11
• OS: macOS

Thanks for the detailed report. There were significant changes to logic locating typedoc config files to make it more robust. Still, I'm surprised that this is resolved differently.

I'm willing to bet this is caused by not calling path.resolve on the options file all the time. It should be a fairly easy fix.
