Preparation

1. cd my-lib1
2. yarn link
3. cd ../my-lib2
4. yarn link
5. cd ../my-app
6. yarn link "@my-namespace/my-lib1"
7. yarn link "@my-namespace/my-lib2"
8. Open folder my-app in Webstorm or PhpStorm

Issue

Imports within a linked module are not resolved in the app root node_modules. Instead Webstorm searches them in the linked folder. The same errors happens when using tsc index.ts or using Webpack to compile.

Node, Typescript and Webpack have an option for this: tsc index.ts --preserveSymlinks true

Desired behavior

Webstorm should have the same option as Node, TypeScript and Webpack have to preserve symlinks and resolve node_modules like this:

{appDir}
 ├── app
 │   ├── index.js
 │   └── node_modules
 │       ├── moduleA -> {appDir}/moduleA
 │       └── moduleB
 │           ├── index.js
 │           └── package.json
 └── moduleA
     ├── index.js
     └── package.json
