Playwright resolve relative path outside test directory

I have this problematic import.

import * as Collection from '../../lib/collection.js'

root
> lib
>> collection.js
> tests
>> folder1
>>> collection.spec.js

how can resolve this relative path with something like

import * as Collection from '@/lib/collection.js' 
OR
import * as Collection from 'lib/collection.js'

tried both. neither worked.

any ideas?

I’m not sure what you mean when you say “problematic”, as that import looks correct/like it should work fine. Is it not working for you?

If your concern is that you’d rather avoid having to go up directories with ../ leading to the two options you tried, and you’re trying to get something like that to work, that’s addressed better than I could elsewhere such as this accepted answer about what @ does and the others. Short answers:

  1. lib/collection.js isn’t relative, and would refer to a package (see also Node’s doc on import specifiers
  2. @/lib/collection.js isn’t a natively supported JavaScript syntax and requires a module loader/bundler, but should work once set up.
