Node JS 14 unable to use absolute path import (Cloud Functions) - node.js

Question

I'm trying to use absolute path import form my custom modules and VSCode has no prob recognising them. The problem is that when I run firebase deploy which runs first eslint I get errors.
3:24 error Unable to resolve path to module '#src/stripe/lib/secret-key' import/no-unresolved
I have tried to set this
"import/resolver": {
"typescript": {}
}
in the eslintrc.js but I just get more and more errors. I have also tried to install some plugins but no luck.
Here is the line which throws the error.
import { stripe } from '#src/stripe/lib/secret-key'
tsconfig

}
},

]
}

Any idea how to make this work?
