Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

Set a path alias in tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "~*": ["./src/*"]
    }
  }
}

Use ~db to import in better-auth config file:

import { betterAuth } from 'better-auth';
import { drizzleAdapter } from 'better-auth/adapters/drizzle';

import { db } from '~db';

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: drizzleAdapter(db, {
    provider: 'pg',
  }),
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
  },
});

Run npx @better-auth/cli generate and an error occurs:

> npx @better-auth/cli generate --config ./src/auth/server.ts --output ./src/db/auth-schema.ts -y

Current vs. Expected behavior

In the earlier version of the better-auth, the path alias works. But now it stops working.

What version of Better Auth are you using?

1.4.3

@better-auth-agent[bot] commented on GitHub (Nov 28, 2025):

It looks like the new Better Auth CLI isn’t resolving the TypeScript path alias correctly. This issue appears because the CLI uses its own module resolution logic that may not currently support the alias mappings from your tsconfig. As a workaround, using a relative path (as you discovered) should resolve the error. We’re investigating how to better support path aliases in future releases. Have you tried using a module aliasing package or adjusting the runtime module resolution settings as an alternative solution? Tag @better-auth-agent if you would like an answer from the Agent.

@ping-maxwell commented on GitHub (Nov 28, 2025):

TLDR: Path Aliases are not actually a proper typescript feature, rather it relies on a bundler under the hood to convert it to a real path.

Path aliases require a bundler or module loader to convert them to real file paths, but jiti is a lightweight runtime TypeScript loader that only transpiles code - it doesn't resolve aliases. So when Better-Auth CLI uses jiti to load config files, aliased imports fail because there's no bundler in the pipeline to map them to actual paths.

Please follow this issue for more information, if this is eventually supported in jiti then it can be supported in Better-Auth too!

I remember we have a PR to use vite to load path, I think that would also fix this issue

@shreyassanthu77 commented on GitHub (Dec 2, 2025):

My pr only works if the project already is a vite project though

edit: one way we can fix this is by replacing jiti with esbuild and a couple esbuild plugins (this can also potentially help better support pure deno projects without mode modules dir) or bundle in vite with the cli so we can fallback to that with a default vite config if the user doesn't have vite installed. But both of these options are temporary fixes for this problem imo

I wanted to use ts path aliases, but noticed that if a tsconfig extends from another base tsconfig, where aliases are defined, it doesn't read them correctly. It is a monorepo setup (NX) which looks like is not covered in this cli.

can you try one thing real quick

  • create a temporary typescript file with a monorepos import from an aliased package (console log it so it doesn't get tree shaken)
  • try building that file with rolldown
npx rolldown -d dist test.ts

and then tell me if that works without any errors

One thing to add, when running such scripts which use local ts aliases with ts-node, I always have to use it this way:

ts-node --project tools/tsconfig.tools.json --require tsconfig-paths/register myfile.ts

oh looks like it doesn't even load tsconfig by default. I should've checked that mb

can you try creating a rolldown.config.js with export default { tsconfig: "<path to tsconfig>" } and then try running rolldown again but with a flag -c rolldown.config.js

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2026):

Hi, @ImSingee. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

  • You reported that TypeScript path aliases in tsconfig.json are not resolved by the Better Auth CLI generate command, causing module not found errors.
  • The CLI uses the jiti loader, which transpiles but does not resolve path aliases, leading to this limitation.
  • Workarounds suggested include using relative paths or module aliasing packages.
  • Comments indicate that proper alias support depends on bundler integration, with potential fixes involving replacing jiti with esbuild or bundling with vite.
  • The issue remains open awaiting upstream support in jiti, and monorepo setups with extended tsconfigs also experience unresolved alias problems.

Next Steps:

  • Please let me know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of better-auth by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
  • Otherwise, I will automatically close this issue in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!

<!-- gh-comment-id:4016818755 --> @dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Mar 7, 2026): Hi, @ImSingee. I'm [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), and I'm helping the better-auth team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale. **Issue Summary:** - You reported that TypeScript path aliases in tsconfig.json are not resolved by the Better Auth CLI generate command, causing module not found errors. - The CLI uses the jiti loader, which transpiles but does not resolve path aliases, leading to this limitation. - Workarounds suggested include using relative paths or module aliasing packages. - Comments indicate that proper alias support depends on bundler integration, with potential fixes involving replacing jiti with esbuild or bundling with vite. - The issue remains open awaiting upstream support in jiti, and monorepo setups with extended tsconfigs also experience unresolved alias problems. **Next Steps:** - Please let me know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of better-auth by commenting here to keep the discussion open. - Otherwise, I will automatically close this issue in 7 days. Thank you for your understanding and contribution!

@DarthGigi if you have this issue can you try creating a vite config in the project with the https://github.com/aleclarson/vite-tsconfig-paths plugin and try running the cli with my pr (#5917) and see if that works please

edit: lol nvm looks like they're working on it already

Coming back to this after finally getting around to trying, I'm getting the following error:

pnpx auth generate
[#better-auth]: Couldn't read your auth config. Error: Cannot find module '$app/environment'

Is #8520 supposed to fix this issue or is this a different issue?

Edit: It looks like no aliases work when in a monorepo

~/Projects/ProjectName/subproject
pnpx auth migrate
[#better-auth]: Couldn't read your auth config. Error: Cannot find module '/Users/gigi/Projects/ProjectName/src/lib/server/email-service'

/Users/gigi/Projects/ProjectName/src/lib/server/email-service should be /Users/gigi/Projects/ProjectName/subproject/src/lib/server/email-service
