I use project references to reference "shared" project from "front" and "back" ones.
tsc -v: Version 3.3.3
Project structure:
./{MY_PROJECT}.code-workspace /* the only file in this level */
./back
./back/tsconfig.json
./shared/src/
./shared/
./shared/tsconfig.json
./shared/src/
./front
./front/tsconfig.json
./front/src
I am tring to import a module to ./front/src/article-view-model.ts
from the shared project:
import Article from "@shared/src/article"; // alias path
import Article from "../../shared/src/article"; // full relative path
export default class ArticleViewModel {
}
The following errors are shown immediately in VS Code GUI:
For alias path:
Cannot find module '@shared/src/article'. ts(2307)
For full relative path:
Output file '../../shared/src/article' has not been built from source file 'c:/{SOMEWHERE_IN_MY_PC}/shared/src/article.ts'. ts(6305)
Intellisense (VS Code) does work for both alias and relative options:
If i try ignore the errors and build, it fails with that:

I solved it little after my last activity here, but i wasn't 100% sure if that happened due to the following changes. I am posting it here anyway, as there are still new views and votes, so it may be valuable for others:
That was the change:
In ./shared/tsconfig.json contents
I added
{
"outDir": "./lib/",
...
"rootDir": "./src",
}
to give:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"composite": true,
"declaration": true,
"module": "amd",
"noEmitOnError": true,
"noImplicitAny": false,
"outDir": "./lib/", <-------------
"preserveConstEnums": true,
"removeComments": true,
"rootDir": "./src", <-------------
"sourceMap": true,
"target": "es2015",
"watch": true
},
"include": [
"./src/**/*.ts",
