Vite Path Aliases Not Resolving in Build

Import aliases work in development (@/components) but fail in production build. Build fails with 'cannot find module' errors. Aliases not recognized by TypeScript or bundler.

Vite aliases require configuration in both vite.config.js and tsconfig.json. Missing either causes resolution failures.

Error Messages You Might See

Cannot find module '@/components' Unresolved type reference module not found
Cannot find module '@/components'Unresolved type referencemodule not found

Common Causes

  1. Alias defined in vite.config.js but not tsconfig.json
  2. tsconfig.json baseUrl or paths incorrect
  3. Alias path doesn't exist or wrong relative path
  4. TypeScript not finding module even though Vite does
  5. Build using wrong config file

How to Fix It

Configure in both vite.config.js and tsconfig.json:

// vite.config.js
export default {
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': '/src'
    }
  }
}

// tsconfig.json
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "@/*": ["src/*"]
    }
  }
}
