Unable to resolve paths to file in root folder beginning with "." (period/dot)

[shawnmcknight]

If a file located in the root folder begins with a ., the resolver will not be able to locate it.

In my root folder (configured as './src'), I've got a file used for package configuration. In my case, the file is named .mvomrc.json, but the file name and extension both appear to be irrelevant to this issue in my testing. The only thing that appears to matter is that the file begins with a . and is located directly in the configured root folder.

The file can be imported using relative pathing both from within the directory as well as below it (i.e. ./.mvomrc.json or ../.mvomrc.json. It can be imported if the file is moved to a directory below the root (i.e. import stuff from 'subdirectory/.mvomrc.json'. I believe that when relative pathing is used then the module-resolver ignores it, which I also suspect might be the origin of my problem.

In the below code from resolvePath.js...

export default function resolvePath(sourcePath, currentFile, opts) {
  if (sourcePath[0] === '.') {
    return sourcePath;
}

...it appears to me that the module-resolver is not processing any file that begins with .. My guess is that the intention here is to throw out anything it believes to have a relative path, but that also throws out files which happen to begin with a . but are not intended to be a relative path.

I think this explains the issue relatively well, but I can whip up a test scenario if needed.

Thanks!

I didn't see any open or closed issues for this, but I just happened to glance at #253 and I think it might be intended to resolve this same issue.

jfyi, #253 had resolved
