Typescript and absolute import paths in server bundle

[MrCrimp]

I'm scratching my head, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

After upgrade to TypeScript 2.1 and webpack2-beta27, I've started using non-relative imports, aka

import * from 'store/foo'

with the help of TsConfig settings

 // when importing with relative path 'some/module', start from web root directory
    "baseUrl": ".",

    // instruct the compiler to try resolve; starting from root with baseUrl
    "paths": {
      "*": [
        "*"
      ]
    }

For webpack client bundles this works great, offering a more refactor friendly approach then the relative imports.

Now, for server rendering, using aspnet-prerendering@2, I'm getting webpack errors (ts-loader?) like

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'store/foo' in 'C:(......)\app\shared\feature\bar' @ ./app/shared/feature/bar.tsx

From
What I've tried:

• using resolve.modules
• resolve.alias
• removing (tsconfig) "module": "es2015" (tree-shaking) but to no luck.

Server bundle config

var serverBundle = {
    resolve: { 
      mainFields: ['main'],
      extensions: [ '.js', '.jsx', '.ts', '.tsx' ],
      alias:{
        app: path.resolve(__dirname, 'app')
      },
      modules: [
           path.resolve(__dirname, '.'),
           path.resolve(__dirname, 'app'),
           path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules')           
        ]
    },
    module: {
        rules: [
            { test: /\.json$/, include: /app/, loader: 'json-loader' },
            { test: /\.tsx?$/, include: /app/, loader: 'babel-loader' },
            { test: /\.tsx?$/, include: /app/, loader: 'ts-loader', query: { silent: true } },
            { test: /\.scss$/, exclude: [ /(node_modules)/], loader: 'style-loader!css-loader!sass-loader' },
            { test: /\.png$/, loader: "url-loader?limit=100000" }
        ]    
    },
    entry: { 'server': './app/infrastructure/boot-server.tsx' },
    plugins: [
        new webpack.DllReferencePlugin({
            context: __dirname,
            manifest: require('../wwwroot/dist/vendor-manifest.json'),
            sourceType: 'commonjs2',
            name: './vendor'
        })
    ],
    output: {
        libraryTarget: 'commonjs',
        path: path.join(__dirname, '../wwwroot', 'dist'),
        filename: '[name].js'
    },
    target: 'node',
    devtool: 'inline-source-map'
};

I'm not sure what the issue is in your setup, but I tried setting up the same thing and it appeared to work fine.

Could you compare your implementation to the following to determine the issue? acdf18f

Seems like webpack context: __dirname + upgrade to ts-loader 1.3 did the trick.
Thank you very much, I really appreciate the quick response!
