should be related to #2245

The problem persists even after upgrading to version 10.1.13. in this pr #2228, it resolve absolute path. The problem revolves around the inability of the nodejs require.resolve function to function correctly with absolute paths.

https://github.com/nestjs/nest-cli/blob/master/lib/configuration/defaults.ts#L29C14-L29C27.

By default, the "outdir" is set to "dist" but I recommend changing it to "./dist"

To address this problem, a workaround involves adding the following line to your tsconfig.json file to override the default value:

{
    "outDir": "./dist",
}

to reproduce, see

Should we revert #2228 for the time being then?

Could you test with 10.1.14?

Could you test with 10.1.14?

10.1.14 is functional as expected
