  Hi @GiS91 - you just need to add

  ./

  in front of

  src/collections/*

  then you should be good to go

  Ehi @jesschow , thank you so much for your reply!

  
  
  

  That's what happen when you try to write code at midnight 🤣

  
  
  

  Anyway, the solution you propose does not seem to fix the issue. I investigated the thing a bit further and it seems that the problem relates both to

  ts-node

  and

  webpack

  .

  
  
  

  According to ts-node documentation [1], ts-node does not support

  paths

  resolution out of the box, so the first thing to do is to install

  tsconfig-paths

  and add it to the ts-node config as explained in the documentation.

  
  
  

  After that, you have to extend your webpack alias configuration in your

  payload.config.ts

  as in the attached screenshot.

  
  
  

  Completed the above two steps, the dev server starts normally
