webpack aliases not working in 7.6.0

[opike]

A javascript file is being imported into our cypress spec files using a webpack alias like this:
import filterTests from 'Support/filterTests';

With the alias defined as:

    alias: {
      Support: path.resolve(__dirname, 'cypress/support/')
    },

This was working fine in previous versions up to and including 7.5.0.

Now in 7.6.0 we see this error message:

Error: Webpack Compilation Error
