[Bug]: @playwright/test 1.47.0 broken for tsconfig alias imports

[stevensacks]

Version

1.47.0

Steps to reproduce

I updated to 1.47.0 and now my playwright tests are complaining:

Error: Cannot find package '~' imported from /Users/me/project/.playwright/e2e/things.spec.ts

It's a remix project and remix uses ~ as the prefix, which is set in the tsconfig.

This was working just fine in the previous version. Something is broken now.

import {expect, test} from '@playwright/test';
import languages from '~/languages';

test('things can be created, updated, and deleted', async ({browser}) => {
  const context = await browser.newContext({
    extraHTTPHeaders: {
      'Accept-Language': 'en',
    },
  });
  await context.clearCookies();
  const page = await context.newPage();
  await page.goto('/things');
  await expect(page).toHaveURL('/things');
  await expect(page).toHaveTitle(languages.en.pages.things.meta.title);
  await expect(page.getByTitle(/Thing/)).toHaveCount(2);

  await context.close();
});

Expected behavior

Expect playwright to honor the tsconfig alias.

Actual behavior

Complains that it can't find a package.

Rolling back to 1.46.1 fixes the issue.

Additional context

No response

@stevensacks Could you please share a full repro? We need the project structure, package.json and tsconfig.json at least to make sure we understand your setup.

This looks like a duplicate of #32480, which has a reproduction
