Node module-alias Error: Cannot find module '@src/utils/constants'

I'm running mocha tests and I recently upgraded to the newest version of the ask-cli. I ran the tests again and I'm now receiving this module error. I've npm installed src and utils to no avail. From what I've read it's possible module-alias does not support @src paths.

I'm calling this command:

$ ask api simulate-skill -l en-US -t "start my day" -s amzn1.ask.skill.XXXXXXXX-4156-4ca0-b14e-XXXXXXXXXXXX

Update: this seems to be an issue with the ask-cli which uses

const CONSTANTS = require('@src/utils/constants'); The @src should find the source of the node package but this @src is not used in any other packages I could find. All other packages seem to use ../../ so that's likely while module-alias does not find anything bc it doesn't know how to route this new syntax

Does anyone know of this new @src syntax and if there is a npm module for helping route it?

Which worked for ask-cli 1.1.6 but I upgraded to 1.7.2 for new functionality.

This is acknowledged bug when ask-cli is installed locally. There are two work-arounds pointed out in the bug report.

Either install ask-cli globally:

   $ npm install -g ask-cli

Or install the module-alias package:

   $ npm install module-alias

and configure it to look for @src in the ask-cli/lib folder by adding the following to your package.json file:

  "_moduleAliases": {
    "@src": "./node_modules/ask-cli/lib",
    "@root": "./node_modules/ask-cli",
    "@test": "./node_modules/ask-cli/test"
  }

I solved this by including the ask-sdk in my local project's dependencies.
