GraphQL plugin fails to load TS config file graphql.config.ts

[arkandias]

I followed the doc to use a TS file as a config file. My configuration:

• WebStorm 2024.3.1.1
• node v20.18.1
• ts-node v10.9.2 (installed in dev dependencies)
• graphql.config.ts below
• tsconfig.json below (which includes "ts-node": { "esm": true })
• package.json specifies "type": "module"

GraphQL plugin raises a "Failed to evaluate config" error (see the stack trace below).

Note that if I rename graphql.config.ts to graphql.config.js, the plugin successfully loads the configuration.

// graphql.config.ts
const config = {
  schema: "schema.graphql",
  documents: "**/*.graphql"
};

export default config;

// tsconfig.json
