This showcases a bug when using ts-node with Yarn's pnp.
Install yarn on version 1.22 or above, yarn this project and run yarn ts-node index.ts. There will be an error:
error TS2307: Cannot find module 'path' or its corresponding type declarations.
This error does not appear when deleting the tsconfig.json or when disabling pnp (for example by switching nodeLinker to node-modules).
