MikroORM cannot find module using absolute paths for importing

Question

I am using NestJS with TypeScript and MikroORM with the MikroOrm-configuration

{
    ...
    entities: ['dist/db/entities'],
    entitiesTs: ['src/db/entities'],
    baseDir: process.cwd() // default value
    ...
}

and the folder structure

Project/
├─ backend/
│  ├─ dist/
│  │  ├─ (same structure as src)
│  ├─ src/
│  │  ├─ db/
│  │  │  ├─ entities/
│  │  │  │  ├─ File.ts
│  │  │  │  ├─ Directory.ts
|  ├─ mikro-orm.config.ts 
│  ├─ tsconfig.json 
|  ├─ package.json

tsconfig.json:

    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "commonjs",
        "declaration": true,

Trying to import src/db/entities/Directory in File.ts throws an error when trying to create a migration usign npx mikro-orm migration:create and complains it cannot find module src/db/entities/Directory. Of course, relative paths would work, but is there any way to use absolute paths as well?
