Cannot find module when import "source-map-support/register" #307

Description

@shishkin

When using import "source-map-support/register" on Typescript 4.5.5 with "module": "ES2020" and "type": "module", I see :

/.../node_modules/ts-node/dist-raw/node-esm-resolve-implementation.js:383
    throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(
          ^
CustomError: Cannot find module '/.../node_modules/source-map-support/register' imported from /.../packages/backend/src/cdk.ts
    at finalizeResolution (/.../node_modules/ts-node/dist-raw/node-esm-resolve-implementation.js:383:11)

    at link (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:75:36)

Root entry point import works without issues:

import sourceMapSupport from "source-map-support";
sourceMapSupport.install();

According to Typescript docs package.json might need explicit "exports" with "types" for the register entry point.

    Crossposted to DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#58679, since that may be the actual culprit.

    The problem comes from Node being a bit picky with its module resolution, and requires file endings when importing a specific file. This can be solved by adding the appropriate export properties in the package.json, as stated above.

    A workaround solution is to include the file ending in your import statement, like this:

    import "source-map-support/register.js"
