console, _winston.default.transports.Console, is not a constructor

The problem

When compiling with graphql-codegen (via jiti), transports: defaultLogger.transports is an empty array.

export const logger = winston.createLogger({
  format: combine(
    colorize({ all: true }),
    align(),
    printf((info) => `[${info?.level}] ${info.message}`),
  ),
  transports: [new winston.transports.Console(), logtailTransport],
});

yarn run v1.22.21
$ graphql-codegen --config src/lib/index.ts

Adding a fallback solves my issue,

@jamespsterling Ran into the same issue with cosmiconfig TypescriptLoader which is using jiti. As a workaround I found the following import for transports to be working with winston 3.13.0.

import transports from "winston/lib/winston/transports/";
