VSCode not respecting declaration map without absolute sourceRoot

[ishchhabra]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.101.2
• OS Version: MacOS 15.1.1

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Clone https://github.com/ishchhabra/pnpm-workspace-example
2. Open apps/web/src/app/page.tsx and CMD+Click on Link. It'll open the Link.d.ts file (from dist).

If I add
"sourceRoot": "/Volumes/Development/pnpm-workspace-example/packages/ui/src" to packages/ui/tsconfig.json, it takes me to the Link.tsx file in packages/ui/src/components, however, using "sourceRoot": "./src" takes user to the declaration file in dist/.

I am able to workaround by adding "@packages/ui": ["../../packages/ui/src"] in paths in the tsconfig for apps/web, however that is not ideal since that requires defining paths in every app that uses the package.

Thanks for creating this issue! It looks like you may be using an old version of VS Code, the latest stable release is 1.101.2. Please try upgrading to the latest version and checking whether this issue remains.

Happy Coding!

Just tried with latest version of VSCode as well. Same behavior.
